Meet Your Guide
The Story Behind the Weaves
Amanda’s journey with willow began many years ago as a simple hobby, a quiet escape that quickly blossomed into a deep-rooted passion. She discovered a natural connection to the rhythm of weaving, finding immense calm and satisfaction in transforming raw willow rods into beautiful, functional creations. This passion grew organically into a full-time profession, driven by the encouragement of friends and the growing demand for her unique, handcrafted work.
A true artisan at heart, she finds immense joy in sharing her knowledge and seeing others discover the magic of willow weaving for themselves. Because every willow rod has a unique character that guides the final shape during the artisan’s labour, the finished piece is always an individual product—a bespoke treasure you create with your own hands. For Amanda, a workshop is about connecting people with a traditional craft and giving them the space to unwind and create.
