Students work today from a Beginners Willow Workshop, held at @curioushousecourses (Screen grab also from @curioushousecourses, where more pics can be found of the morning). Loved teaching this on such a glorious morning. Happy and motivated students, too. Sorry I wasn’t at the Climate Strike though, although this is a pretty low-impact occupation. #sussexplatters #catalanplatters #tensiontrays #teaching #learning #willow #workshop #beginners #loveteaching #basketry #lowimpact #sustainableliving #digitaldetox #extinctionrebellion #climatestrike #autumn

Perfect beginner’s willow workshop! Come to Sussex in September to learn how to weave a functional and attractive platter. I’m teaching at Curious House which is a stunning location to learn. 20th September, 10am-1pm. For Further information go to @curioushousecourses #willowworkshop #weaving #basketry #willow #sussex #beginners #taster #trynewthings #september #backtoschool #lifelonglearning

This is where Ive been hiding, mostly. Thats me with the arrow, small child and football, obviously. Those other chappies are my co-workers. Aren’t we a happy bunch. Thank you Annemarie and Tom for giving me this fabulous opportunity. See @annemarieosullivanbaskets for more pics n details, and photo credits (this is just a screen shot!) #happyweavers #basketmakersassistant #nowyoucanblameallthemistakesonme #lovemyjob #thankyou #willgetbacktomyownpracticeinafewyears #bestemployersever

At Owlets playgroup yesterday. Thank you Lucy and Julie @lucyslittleforestschool for a super morning. Nice to be on the other side (ie not leading!) and play with Ingrid outside- always our favourite place to be! Also good to chat to other mamas @whispers_of_the_wild #forestschool @wildernesswoodsussex

One of Ingrid’s first artworks. Love the freedom of expression! Makes me think that abstract artists can perhaps only strive for this sort of liberated mark-making. “All children make art; Artists just continue to.” #18monthsold #childrensart #markmaking #expressive #free #joyous #colour #exploration #firsts

A few of the willow varieties I’m growing looking sumptuous and glossy in the low winter sun #homegrownwillow #2019harvest #2ndyearcrop #bitmoreorganisedthisyear
