It was the second time I’d joined the willow basket making workshop at Tinahely Farm Shop in County Wicklow, taught by Heike. I aimed at making a smaller and more delicate basket than my last one, which I thought would be easier, but Heike told me that smaller baskets are indeed more difficult to make. What a challenge I set myself! I’m glad that the basket’s turned out very nice, and now I’m thinking of upgrading it into a handbag. Yes, a handbag. Sounds a bit crazy, but I’m exploring the possibility. We’ll see if it works.
