Asymmetric and Proud

August 5, 2015Uncategorizedironwoodforestschool

Sometimes a little bit of asymmetry is ok… And this is me trying to make something functional… But somehow unable to! What could this function as… An enormous fruit bowl? It was supposed to be a shopper!!

Stunning frosty morning to finish some work outside. Saturdays are about remembering I’m a maker as well as a mother. And I’m thankful for both of those joyous things. Also somehow making a plant support gives me a tantalising glimmer of spring! #daddydaycare #makermama #willow #plantsupport #homegrown #handmade #weaving #winter #spring #sussex #outdoors #joy

Harvest, 2020. Happy new year everyone. May all your wishes come true- or one of them at least?

New course alert! Last minute Christmas Present idea! I’ll be teaching How to weave your own willow plant support/obelisk, as part of Seedy Saturday, a lovely garden-themed event in Lewes, East Sussex, on Saturday 1st February. 10am or 1pm slots available. £40/head. Get in touch to book your place.

Was such a super event at Charleston last weekend! I ended up with only 3 baskets to take home! (DM me if you want to take a log basket off my hands). It was a great crowd of talented designer/makers, and so lovely to sell to a crowd who understood the carftsmanship and had so many positive comments too. Thank you Melissa and all the other organisers and volunteers @charlestontrust #designermakerfair #charleston #sussex #handmade #makers #soldout

First herringbone weave... nice experiment... ?? This one will be making its way with me to Charleston this weekend. Hope to see you there... #charleston #designermakerfair #november2019 #handmade #willow #traditionalcrafts #contemporarycraft #sussex #winterfair

Looking forward to this one... 4 weeks to go! #charlestontrust @charlestontrust #designermakers #novemberevents #sussex #greatplacetovisit #handmadegifts #firstshowforawhile #winterfairs #comealong
