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.

Sue Wise reviewed: Hedgerow basketmaking

"What a fabulous day! Great place, good company and Amanda is a kind, patient and experienced teacher. This was the perfect antidote to a stressful working life and I made a usable basket. Looking forward to returning one day to make a coffin. Thank you."

Lala reviewed: Oval shallow basket for the garden at New barn at Usk Castle Chase,Monmouthshire

"This was a great workshop in beautiful surroundings. Amanda's direction was clear and well paced. She managed to keep us all on track whilst making drinks and offering delicious cake. She was very patient with all our requests for help and made sure we all completed our baskets by the end of the day."

Myra Keatley reviewed: Oval shallow basket for the garden at New barn at Usk Castle Chase,Monmouthshire

"Very pleasant day in beautiful surroundings. Amanda is a highly skilled weaver who is generous with her time and knowledge. I have already booked my next workshop. I was surprised at how physical the craft is. Craftcourses.com - the day didn't start well as incorrect venue information was posted on your website."
