Several months ago the Scottish Basketmakers' Circle was invited to have an exhibition at St Andrews Botanical Gardens. The title was Celebrating Wonderful Willow and was put together by the tireless Anne Lightwood, potter and vice chair of the Friends of St Andrews Botanic Garden.
The exhibition ran for the whole of June and ended on the 25th July, during that time workshops were run by Stephanie Bunn and Jon Warnes. I joined Stephanie, Jon and environmental artist Kevin Blackwell on the final day to demonstrate making plant supports.
The images show some of Georgia Crooks work, willow triangles which include other woods and cordage. Georgia will be opening her studio during September as part of Perthshire Open Studios, www.perthshireopenstudios.com.
