  • Caring for your willow basket

    Your basket should last a long time. The most important thing is to keep it somewhere dry. If mould appears, you can gently scrub it off with soapy water and then brush with a weak vinegar solution. If you think the willow has dried over time out, you can immerse it in water, or brush on a small amount of linseed oil and this can restore the appearance of the bark, but too much may not absorb and can become a growth medium for mould. Some baskets can be repaired. Bow handles can be replaced and I’m happy to do this. Some baskets have a foot added which can be replaced if they become worn down. More experienced makers can do more complicated repairs. Find your local basketmaker on the Scottish Basketmakers' Circle website or on the website of The Basketmakers' Association.

  • I would like to commission a basket

    I’m not able to take on any special requests or commissions at the moment. My calendar is full with projects until well into 2026. Please sign up to my newsletter to be the first to know when I have space for a commission. You can find makers on the Scottish Basketmakers Circle website or the Basketmaker’s Association website who may be able to make your dream basket for you.
