Made to order time frame: 2 weeks
Each basket is handwoven using sustainably grown willow and finished with a naturally shaped piece of driftwood collected along the Welsh coast. The materials are left in their raw state, allowing the subtle variations in colour and texture to remain visible.
Due to the organic nature of both the willow and the wood, no two baskets are ever the same. The piece measures approximately 40 centimetres in height and 35 centimetres at its widest point, though exact dimensions vary slightly with each handmade form. This basket is designed for indoor display and should be kept in a dry environment to preserve the natural materials.

Inspiration and Techniques
Amanda’s inspiration for her weaving comes from the wonderful colours she grows and harvest and as the willow dries the colours change and mellow, every variety has its own subtle qualities. She loves to combine this with driftwood she finds on the beach and from the shapes of branches fallen in the woods. Some of her favourite techniques you see here are fitching where 2 strands of willow are woven alternately as a single band in the middle of a basket- this looks simple but takes practise and skill to get it right and it’s lovely to take the rods around again to create a chain-link effect.
