Traditional Baskets

Green Log Basket 1

Traditional Baskets hand woven by Kirk

Replace your household plastic containers with an ecological and more aesthetic alternative

The beauty of the design combined with the functional and sustainable qualities of the materials makes these baskets pleasurable to use. Replace your household plastic containers with an ecological and more aesthetic alternative. All willow is grown organically here King’s Cliffe by Kirk. Kirk grows, harvests, sorts and dries the willow before it is carefully selected to be woven into a basket. Baskets can last a lifetime and be repaired. We also repair baskets.

If you would like to commission a traditional basket, contact Kirk on kirk@transitionkingscliffe.org.uk 

We no longer make square basketry.
