Steph first picked up a stick of willow at a festival in her 20’s. She found herself in the children’s area and saw an activity going on that she liked the look of. She chucked her money in the hat and the organisers let her join in with the children! Coming from a long line of woodsmen who earned their living from the local woodland, it all seemed to fall into place.

Steph has had the privilege of learning with a number of very talented basket makers and weavers who have shared their knowledge, expertise and enthusiasm for their craft. She continues to learn new skills, and enjoys sharing what she has learned with others.
