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.

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

"A relaxed and very rewarding one-day course. With lots of expert help, I was extremely pleased to come away with a lovely shallow basket that I will proudly use in my garden to gather cut flowers. Amanda is a patient and expert teacher who finds a perfect balance between showing, doing, explaining and guiding. There was even tea and cake. "

"Fantastic day outside learning how to work with Willow ... Amanda was very patient and allowed the group of 6 plenty of time to interact and catch up ! Felt wonderful bringing home to the garden our pea frames and hurdles.. just make sure you have a big enough boot to the car !! They are taller then you imagine. Diolch yn fawr . "
