Rosie is a basket maker, and the meditative rhythm of weaving is the essence of her practice.
She works predominantly on a small scale, using natural materials such as Bulrush and Common Juncus to create fine, decorative and functional baskets.
Rosie uses simple traditional weaving techniques which she has adapted to suit her style and scale of working.
When she begins to make a basket she never quite knows what the final shape will be. The unpredictability of the natural materials means that the final outcome is somewhat dictated by the temperament of the rush lending to each basket being a unique creation.
Having been bought up to value skills and good craftsmanship, Rosie believes that it is important to keep old traditions and techniques alive.
