Sarah made her first willow basket a few years ago and instantly fell in love with the uniquely spiced aroma and texture of willow, and the ancient craft of basketmaking. Having been given the opportunity to work as an apprentice with Ciaran Hogan at his workshop and shop at the Spiddal Craft Centre, it was here that Sarah developed her skills and love for traditional Irish basketmaking along with attending basketmaking residencies all over Europe where she learned new basketry skills from many talented basketmakers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSarah loves weaving with willow and she has found that the ancient craft of basketmaking has rooted her in a very special place, deeply connected to the earth. Sarah weaves baskets with barked willow allowing the stunning natural colours and the uniquely spiced aroma of the willow varieties to shine through on each basket. Sarah also grows various willow varieties in a small Salley Garden in Connemara from which she harvests willow every winter for use in her baskets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT KILLRUDDERY FLOWERS WORKSHOP SERIES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEarth friendly flowers - grown here \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKillruddery Flowers are grown here with the seasons, letting the soil, sun and sky guide what blooms in the south-facing border of our Walled Garden.
