 Anthea's geese and chicken are full of character. This time of year there are 1,000s of wild pink-footed geese on the fields - so I wonder what they will think of the arrival of some willow impersonators! (Kate Sankey) Anthea Naylor is a basketmaker based in East Lothian. She has been
working with willow for the last 12 years- making both traditional and
contemporary baskets, sculptures and outdoor willow structures. She
holds workshops, demonstrations and teaches regularly in Edinburgh and
the Lothian region. My recent practice has been based on creating both
functional and more abstract animal based objects and at the same time
exploring the randomweave techniques of making. I enjoy stretching the
limits of all techniques that I have learned but particularly enjoy the
versatility of working with randomweave for sculptural forms.Paper is
such a ubiquitous thing that we rarely value it as we should. It has
been around for over 2000 years and plays an extraordinary part in
human history. With the modern emphasis on a necessary conservation and
recycling of resources, it is more important than ever to appreciate
the wonder of it and the environment from which it springs.
