"Trained in both sculpture and basket making, I have become a designer and maker of functional objects and art works using the techniques and the forms traditionally associated with baskets. Being universally recognised, baskets provide a context for the work that has allowed me the freedom to explore materials, techniques and concepts whilst at the same time making the work easily understood by as wide an audience as possible."
"Most of the materials used for manufacturing consumer products and their packaging still have many years of life left in them when they are buried in landfill sites. It is this, often colourful, everyday waste that has inspired much of my work. These materials which already have their own history, present me as a designer, with the challenge of turning them into something new which will intrigue, amuse or otherwise stimulate the viewer or user."
We're listed in the Travel-Quest index for basketmaking courses and holidays.
