Beth Murphy - Willow Basketry

Working with the seasons in direct contact with the land,
surrounded by natures creativity creates in me an awareness
of sustainability. I personally would not be happy in any other
world, let’s keep it alive and bring it into the future, choose
sustainability, choose Willow

Francis Presley - Green Furniture Making

I work with all hedge wood and combine willow
rods as part of the structure. I also make replica
sligo chairs out of elm ash and oak. What I hope to
include this year is my fire making drill, based on
a primitive design, I just have to perfect it for ease of use.
