My traditional fishing baskets include ponier à cous, courges and willow crab pots. I work from my home near the Hampshire - Wiltshire border and am a member of Heritage Crafts and the Basketmakers’ Association.Focus:Traditional Guernsey BasketryStockists:CraftmongersMakers BarnThe Future KeptI source my willow materials locally from Musgrove Willows in Somerset. Musgrove Willows are a carbon neutral company. Their respectful approach to land management aims to minimise impact on wildlife. In turn, using locally grown willow is also preserving wetland habitats and has the benefits of carbon capture. When possible, I collect rainwater to use for soaking and preparing the willow ready for weaving.
