Claire Kinsella uses locally foraged willow along with her own grown crops to create her utterly wonderful baskets. Traditional in every way yet there seems to prevail a modern look to her work. Curved edges meet straight lines, the rustic material is weaved into contemporary forms. Claire has a skilled that comes naturally to her, from the basketry process itself right through to her keen eye for spotting hedgerow gems to incorporate into each piece. 

Woven in North Somerset this Ash Handled Basket has a lovely form and patterning. Using a variety of willows, Claire has contrasted a rich red with a golden straw to form the stripes running across this piece. Functional and beautiful, this basket can be used every day from shopping to displaying. 

The foraged Ash Handle is perfect in it's sculptural form.
