Day in the life of a basket maker. Making frames, hoops and stripping bark featuring Willow the cat.

Come with me as I make some frames for oval bases, some hoops, and I strip some willow bark for future projects. I am a full-time basket maker and artist living in Tipperary, Ireland with my family. I create functional baskets and sculptural willow work. My school of Willow Basketry brings in person workshops and online courses for all levels. We live off-grid, in a forest, on a mountain.
