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. 

This Tall Rope Basket is one of our favourite pieces in from Claire. The twisting structure gives a strong look to the basket even though it has a slight off centre movement in the form. We particularly love the gradual change in colour of the willow as it twists up the piece. 

A beautiful sculpture that can hold dried clippings or even a favourite house plant.
