HERITAGE BASKETS
HERITAGE BASKETS
New editions, bundles of baskets, hand-woven by artists; Hilary Burns, Nick McMillen, Tim Johnson, Michelle Mateo, Dominic Parrette, Clare Rivera, Florence Hamer, Rachel Frost, Alex Walshaw, Hopewood Baskets and Lin Lovekin.
Home-grown materials; red cedar bark, willow and heather, have been used to explore extraordinary variations of regional basketry. Collectively, the makers have been influenced by traditional usage; from carrying vegetables to catching lobsters, each represents imaginative solutions dating back to Neolithic periods.
