Plants that I use to weave, make herbals and teach with come from tending my own wild garden, where I have planted and encouraged edible, utilitarian and medicinal plants. Removing, thinning and coppicing weedy plants or trees helps increase diversity and encourages growth of native species. One of the principles I follow as a small business owner and crafter, is to have my decisions and craft guided by having a small footprint, striving for no waste and working only with natural materials.

Inspiration for the baskets and woven art comes from quiet observation of the natural world around me and the inherent beauty, strength and flexibility of each plant material. Weaving vessels from plants that grow in my local environment creates a more intimate bond with my surroundings and deeper connection to ancestors who lived closely with the Earth.

“Plants are integral to reweaving the connection between land and people. A place becomes a home when it sustains you, when it feeds you in body as well as spirit. To recreate a home, the plants must also return.”
