I designed these baskets in 2007 for my first solo exhibition called ‘Stake and Strands’, i had only been making for around 10 years and was just starting to create my own work. I enjoy revisiting old patterns and have added some colour into the sides of the basket. The curved hazel handle compliments the warm colours of the Packing Twine, Dark Dicks and Green Dicks willows.
The willow is grown organically here in King’s Cliffe.
Originally designed as a non-functional basket, some customers who buy these baskets do find a use for them. This one can quite easily be used for storage or is great for knitting wool or fabirc samples.
Dimensions: H20cm x W34cm
