Hi, I’m Gerry

Here’s me in the 1970s happily stored in a basket & being raised by incredibly creative & practical parents where they showed me that creating something yourself brings a bucket load of satisfaction and solace. Actually it was probably a basket load.
So it was no surprise that it wasn’t long before I was hand stitching patchwork quilts, making my own clothes, knitting, crocheting and finally in the 90s I got started on the path of learning how to make my own willow baskets.
Now, after working as a Primary School teacher and raising a clutch of boys, I want to share the short cuts to self soothing and solace that I’ve found through my creativity.
So I’d like to invite you to browse the products in my shop (click to browse) and come and join me on courses where we weave willow, stitch stitches and protect a bit of time to live life at a gentler pace.
Working gently with nature
