Westcountry Willows

Westcountry Willows We are full-time basket makers living and weaving in Ireland, doing what we love every day. Westcountry Willows are a husband and wife team based in Co.

From quiet moments in the workshop to lively demos and hands-on workshops, we share our passion for traditional craft with others. Roscommon, surrounded by willows and rushes in the midwest boglands. We create baskets and crafts using the materials that grow around us. You can commission us to weave a basket or other item to suit your requirements or come to us to learn how to weave your own baske

t. We also carry out basket repairs. Also coming later this we are beginning our journey into creating, making and teaching 100% Irish willow coffins using 100% Irish willow. Please see the website for more details:

Wow what a blast that was, being a viking for the weekend at Boyne valley vikings festival at slane Castle, the weather was cold and wet but it didn't dampen peoples spirits, a real honor to be a part of it, hoping to do many more, weve got the viking bug ❤️
So well organised and an incredible place to hold it with the Castle in the background and the viking long ships on the river, wow! Can't wait for the next one. And everyone was so friendly and welcoming, and boy do they know how to party. Thanks for a lovely weekend guys, see you real soon ### 🏰🙏🌿❤️

Uisneach fire festival fun with the Celt craft village collective 🔥 what a fantastic time we had 🙏 we made many connections with like minded people and spread the word about the weekend workshops we all teach three times a year, so lovely to hang out with the crew and share our crafts with so many people that appreciate Traditional Crafts, it was truly a weekend to remember, and we got to be in the parade up to light the fire which was the highlight 🔥❤️🙏🌿 cant wait for the next one 🙏
