A selection of images from the last two weeks spent studying under the watchful eye of the master craftsman and brilliant teacher, Adrian Charlton. I learnt SO much, and still have so, so far to go. My passion for the craft has been reignited and I intend to harness this motivation and continue the good work in my workshop back home. Thank you so much Adrian, I feel honoured to have been taught such important traditional skills by you, and indebted to NADFAS and the HCA, (and Fran and Annie!), whose funding has been invaluable. Many thanks also due to Ruth for making me feel so at home, and Mum and Dad for collecting all 11 baskets!
