We've always been makers, firm believers in keeping skills alive, mending things and using resources with respect. Our passion for sustainability and creativity led us to explore more traditional skills that have been lost over the years. Our willow weaving keeps lost knowledge alive, helps us reconnect with nature and provides a sustainable and organic product that will stand the test of time. We take pride in using locally grown willow, to produce unique, high-quality willow baskets. All our baskets are individual, inspired by the dramatic landscape of our home in Powys.
We offer unique willow baskets, traditionally made from a variety of sustainable materials: willow, hazel and dogwood. As our materials are seasonal there are lulls in basket making.

We offer unique willow baskets, traditionally made from a variety of sustainable materials: willow, hazel and dogwood. As our materials are seasonal there are lulls in basket making. However, these lulls are used to source, harvest and dry in preparation for the next season. We also buy in willow that has been traditionally processed by stripping and steaming. These willows add another dimension to our designs, providing a great contrast of texture and colour. We love sharing our willow weaving passion!

We believe that all crafting brings people together and fosters creativity. It provides a sense of achievement and promotes positive mental health. Sharing knowledge and skills that would otherwise be lost enables us all to find something we didn't know we could do. Willow weaving is something everyone can have a go at and actually make something to use. That's why we offer classes and workshops to help people learn new skills and connect with others who share their passion.

When we first started weaving, our basketmaking skills produced decidedly 'wonky' baskets! As with all new skills practice is key. Connecting with other basketmakers, reading and more practice helped hone our skills and enabled us to explore our own design ideas.
The name 'Wonky' stuck, even if the 'Wonkiness' didn't!
Yes, we love creating custom pieces! Please contact us to discuss your vision.
Yes, you can. Our basket making is, primarily, a hobby. All the baskets we produce are unique, each slightly different either in design or willow used. Hit the 'Shop' button on the Products page for what's currently in stock. If you see anything you like please contact us.
