WELCOME TO
SUE KIRK WILLOW BASKETS
Kirk and Sue have been working with willow since 1998 originally inspired by the sustainability of the craft and the benefits which willow brings to the environment. Kirk grows several varieties of basket willows organically on two plots located in King’s Cliffe.
Sue weaves just a mile away from the willow beds at their workshop, The Old Brewery Studios. Here the home grown willows are woven into bespoke traditional and contemporary baskets and sculpture. Sue's sculpture is available from The Stratford Gallery in the Cotswolds and B.C.M.T. Gallery in Kingston N.Y.
Throughout the year Sue and Kirk host professional basketmaking tutors from UK and Europe.
We advise you to make an appointment if you would like to visit the workshop. Sorry, The workshop is closed to visitors whilst a class is taking place.
