Maker's bio

I started wyldwoodwillow back in 2001 after weaving for a year or so... It helped me through a particularly difficult chapter in my life and I discovered that I had a burning desire to share the healing nature of weaving. I started teaching workshops fairly early on and weaving pretty much anything I could, currently I weave baskets, coffins, living willow,sculptures and create furniture and decorative fencing for the home and garden. My business is successful and I am a full time weaver.

Lynn reviewed: Weave a willow log basket or backpack at Usk

"I have just spent 2 enjoyable days making a log basket with Amanda and I am delighted with it. Amanda is very clear in the instructions she gives and she is very good at sorting out any mistakes or problems you may have. The venue is warm and her lemon drizzle cake was delicious."
