I've been using natural materials especially willow for nearly 30 years creating living willow structures and sculptures and baskets as well. Since moving to the Isle of Mull I've run workshops for local community organisations, including sculptures for Tioran forest. I'm a founder member of South West Mull Makers and help run our shop and gallery in Fionphort. I grow my own willow and also use leaves & grasses from the fields and ditches around Bunessan. I have a Face Book page Isle of Mull Baskets where I post images of the baskets I make and can also be contacted through. Over the last few years I've developed four 'mini activity packs' specifically for children and I'm in the process of creating two new packs for the coming year.
