Process
This basket was created by sewing a core of straw using fine chair cane. The core is 'sized' throughout the making using a piece of pipe with straw continuously added into the pipe to keep the core the same size.
Process
Based in East Sussex, Annemarie O'Sullivan makes contemporary baskets using ancient British basket-making techniques. Annemarie grows around twenty varieties of willow, which she harvests by hand on a half-acre plot near her home. Working from a wooden studio in her garden, Annemarie creates both small-scale domestic objects and larger woven sculptures. Her baskets have been featured in The New York Times, The Irish Times, House and Garden and Country Living.
