Small Asymmetric Willow Basket by Eleanor Morgan at the Landmark Shop
by Landmark ShopA lovely sized basket for a bit of shopping, foraging or for on a picnic. Made from English grown buff, brown and steamed willow and a handle of locally sourced wood (possibly from Richmond Park or Kew Gardens).
Eleanor is a local craftsperson working in green wood and willow. Originally trained as a fine artist, she was initially drawn to textiles, especially patchwork, embroidery and knitting with a particular interest to their historical context. However, after a 20 year career in social housing an interest in natural, sustainable materials developed. She has a particular interest in traditional English basketmaking techniques. Eleanor sources much of the wood she uses locally, including her allotment in Twickenham, where she also grows a small amount of willow she uses in her baskets.
