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.

Sharon Thomas reviewed: weave a shopping basket

"I have long wanted to try willow weaving and I picked Wyldwood Willow as I was able to make something a little different - an asymmetric basket with a driftwood handle. Amanda is a great teacher - patient and encouraging and providing support when needed. Everyone on the course was really impressed that we made a basket in just one day and we could all see how we were improving over the course of a few hours. Thanks so much Amanda - I love my basket and will definitely consider coming back for a second go. "

Deborah Clement reviewed: weave a shopping basket

"Amanda is an excellent teacher, clear instruction and help where needed. We were all amazed that we could end a six hour course with a well made usable shopping basket (I went shopping with mine today!) We had plenty of tea breaks and delicious home made cake. The barn is well equipped and in a lovey rural setting. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in basketry."
