Emma Simon

I am a willow basket maker based near Cardigan, West Wales. I make traditional and contemporary willow baskets and craft items from willow grown in my Pembrokeshire coppice. I am inspired to create functional pieces from materials I can grow myself that are designed to last and also look beautiful. I believe it is crucial to keep this heritage craft alive and share these skills and so an important part of my work is facilitating workshops for adults and children.
