English willows all hand woven to make beautiful bespoke baskets.
All bespoke baskets are individually hand-made to order.
So must be paid for in full, via bank transfer before work commences!
Stephen Caulfield of Sussex Willow Baskets
I have been making totally ENGLISH bespoke baskets for over 39 years.
I became an apprentice basket maker at the age of 17 in 1985. My day started at 8am and finished at 4pm Monday to Friday for £50 a week. This was in the largest and most well known basket making company in Brighton. I became a full time professional after a few years of being tutored in the traditional way.
I have made all sorts of bespoke English willow basketware props, for use in Major Movie Feature Films, TV Channels & Theatres.
Other produced items range from Cradles to Coffins plus everything else required. Square baskets are a specialty for bespoke individually designed kitchens.
I also tutor my own basketmaking courses, which will be starting again next year.
Plus I demonstrate the Art of basketmaking at carefully selected craft events/shows. Within Sussex and the neighbouring Counties. There is a daily charge for this service, as might be expected as to cover my time and fuel costs.
My customers keep returning as they love the exceptional quality, personal service and reasonable prices.
