My baskets are largely the result of collecting materials on daily walks in the Welsh countryside - a constant inspiration. Colour and texture is of prime importance. The woods are not dyed, the variety of colour comes from the natural barks of many different species.
Basketmaking began as a hobby more than twenty years ago but blossomed into a passion as I became intrigued by the wealth of naturally colourful and textural materials found growing in hedges, woods and gardens.
Each basket gives a new lease of life to a myriad of annual prunings - Nature's 'rubbish' - that would otherwise be discarded. I also make felt bags and hangings from local fleece, combining it with carefully chosen pieces of driftwood, honeysuckle and ivy to create unique pieces of natural art.
