Hailing from all over Britain, the exhibitors will be representing the skill, sustainability and creativity that is embodied in their long-term dedication to willow as the medium for their craft. They want their audience not only to enjoy the beauty and form of these woven objects, but to embrace their work as a force for good, providing both nourishment for the wellbeing of everyone who comes into contact with it and for the planet.
Over fifty basketry items will be on show, made predominantly with willow but also with additions of other materials such as hazel, rush and leather. As well as baskets for practical purposes, (of both contemporary and heritage design from different regions), there will be furniture, sculptural baskets and sculptures, (both animal and abstract, for indoor and outdoor display).
Curator of Nourish Lois Walpole explains,
“These experienced makers, with their well-honed skills and imagination, show us how willow can be turned into baskets, furniture or artworks that do not damage our environment but instead nourish us with their eco-credentials and natural beauty.”
Exhibitors: Alisha Davidson, Angela Cole, Anna Liebmann, Anna Turnbull, Debbie Hall, Dominic Parrette, Geoff Travers, Julie Gurr, Julie Livesey, Justine Burgess, Leilah Vyner, Patrizia Sascor, Rachel Evans, Ruth Thompson, Sarah Hatton, Sarah Le Breton.
Funded and supported by the exhibitors, Basketmakers’ Association, the Worshipful Company of Basketmakers, Crafts Study Centre and Cockpit Arts.
