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 skill 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.

Another lovely practical basket from Claire, a really lovely large oval basket that can be used around the home, wether holding kindling or just looking beautiful. Featuring dicky meadows, and natural brown willows. I really love the overall rich darker tones of this basket and the fabulous curly hazel handle.
