Welcome
I am a teacher, artist & woodland ranger, living & working in Sheffield on the edges of the Peak District.
I teach a number of traditional crafts but specialise in baskets, natural cosmetics/soap making & stained glass.
I use traditional hand tools, techniques & process from an age gone by to create functional & beautiful contemporary & traditional baskets.
From the front room & kitchen of my 1 bedroom house (its 3 actually but the others are filled with willow & other 'stuff')
I am assisted by 2 greyhounds to weave, strip, sort, drill, saw all manner of weird and wonderful things.
I also have a woodland & a woodland workshop to play in when the adults aren't looking!

"A glass pitcher, a willow basket, a tunic of coarse cloth.
Their beauty is inseparable from their function.
Handcrafted items belong to a world existing before the separation the useful & the beautiful."
