Willow Weaving and Watercolours
I am a willow weaver and watercolour artist living in Rusthall. Working from my garden workshop, I craft willow baskets using traditional methods and UK-grown willow, drawing inspiration from the woodlands and countryside that surround my village.
The same landscapes that shape my weaving find their way into my watercolours — paintings that celebrate the quiet beauty of the natural world on my doorstep.
With a background in teaching, I love welcoming beginners into the craft through friendly willow weaving workshops, where traditional skills and techniques are explored through a range of projects for the home and garden. Whether you are picking up willow for the first time or looking for a handmade piece to treasure, I hope my work offers a warm connection to nature and the slow, satisfying art of making by hand.
