Bridget King – Loveny Willow

Bridget had always had a bee in her bonnet to one day be able to make a basket.  On one of those ‘special’ birthdays, her friends gave her a craft token to attend a basket making workshop.

Bridget has been totally hooked ever since and is always on the lookout for something new to try and make using natural products.

Bridget has taught 4 – 6 year olds over a period of 30 years and recently qualified as a Forest School Leader.  She feels that making functional objects from willow and other natural materials is very satisfying and compliments her basic love of nature.
