Collection: Special Traditional Baskets

John makes traditional agricultural and industrial baskets from the British Isles. The materials for these baskets are scarce, and the knowledge of how to make them is increasingly rare. He specialises in making the baskets from coastal regions in bygone times, designed for heavy use in occasionally wet conditions. Today, most buyers purchase these baskets for their aesthetic appeal, using them as unique home storage solutions for domestic items. This repurposing helps preserve the craft. Others order them to connect with local history or personal memories of their community use.
