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.

Ceri reviewed: One day willow deer workshop

"My daughter and I really enjoyed this course. The workshop was lovely, surrounded by countryside, and the size of the group was just right to ensure a good group dynamic while enabling Amanda to give some one to one assistance to keep everyone on track. Amanda is a skilled weaver and a great teacher. Regular tea and coffee and a generous piece of bara brith cake was very welcome during a full day of weaving. Diolch Amanda :)"

Claudia reviewed: Traditional Frame baskets with Amanda Rayner

"My husband and I did the traditional frame basket workshop with Amanda and had a fantastic time. Amanda is very patient and gave us really clear instructions and tips to help us make our baskets. The workshop is in a beautiful setting and the tea and cake was a lovely bonus! It was so much fun and very informative."

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. "
