"I have a passion for the handmade and homegrown, making everyday objects that are a joy to use. My work is traditional but continues to evolve. I like to make robust, functional baskets that are tactile and hopefully bring great pleasure to those who choose to own them. I produce a range of baskets and site specific sculptural work. " P.B.
