Willow Basketry & Countryside Skills

k

Welig Crafts is run by basketmakers and countryside skills practitioners Clive Lyttle and Elaine Burke from their smallholding near Portaferry in County Down. 

At Welig crafts our aims are simple:

  • To run a sustainable business involving the growing of willow and other broad leaved trees

  • To produce a range of traditional indigenous baskets, modern contemporary and bespoke baskets 

  • To pass on our skills and knowledge to others in the form of workshops and demonstrations.

We make functional gardenware including plant supports and hurdles, we design and supply living willow structures.
When available we supply willow for basketry and living willow for DIY garden projects, tunnels, arbours, fedges, domes, tipis etc.
