Kaleidoscope

Teresa's willow baskets encompass everything from traditional creels to contemporary pieces in corporating fabrics, beads and hedgerow materials. All her work is firmly rooted in traditional techniques, kept alive by generations of basketmakers.

She draws her inspiration from nature and her natural surroundings in Co. Donegal. Willow is such an adaptable medium that with a little bit of imagination the range of baskets and sculptures possible is virtually infinite.

Her home workshop is located in the scenic Tullagh Bay, looking across to Malin Head and surrounded by the Urris Hills. Teresa likes to work outside as much as possible, especially during the summer months, taking advantage of the long light evenings.
