Jenny Crisp has been a professional basket maker and willow grower
for over 30 years. She grows the willow to make her baskets that
she then sells directly to the public.
'I make functional items for use in the home and the garden. My
involvement with the complete process, from the very first planting
to the final stages of making, has given me an awareness and
understanding of the link between making a functional object from
an indigenous material. I try in my approach to be both forward
looking and innovative, whilst at the same time retaining a respect
for the sound and established traditions of my craft.' - Jenny
