Handwoven Willow Berry Basket

Line and colour are two key points of inspiration for Rachel Bower. With this berry basket, she chose to hand-weave it from Dicky Meadows willow for the soft-toned green hue it imparts, as well as its strength. It features a sloping inward design to protect the contents from falling out, and a simple pegged willow handle for ease. It can be used for holding berries on your next foraging escapade, eggs, onions, garlics or ginger, or equally for housing pegs and toys in your little one’s nursery.

Moved by the rhythmic nature of basketry, Rachel Bower applies an experimental approach to her craft, in which colour and lines form the basis of her functional willow basket designs. The award-winning weaver records ideas in sketchbooks and brings each basket to life through small batch production in Angus, North East Scotland, maintaining the unique, one-off nature of each distinctive piece.
