Maker's bio

I started wyldwoodwillow back in 2001 after weaving for a year or so... It helped me through a particularly difficult chapter in my life and I discovered that I had a burning desire to share the healing nature of weaving. I started teaching workshops fairly early on and weaving pretty much anything I could, currently I weave baskets, coffins, living willow,sculptures and create furniture and decorative fencing for the home and garden. My business is successful and I am a full time weaver.

Jo reviewed: Willow sculpture at The Garlic Farm,IOW

"The willow sculpture course at the Garlic Farm was a good day out. I learnt some new skills and came home with a lovely hen for my garden. Amanda is very skillful and helpful and despite the rather miserable weather it was a good day."

"Jo, Thankyou so much for your review, that means a lot to me. I hope you got back to Malvern safe and sound. I got back to discover that they have postponed the Usk River Festival until the 15th of September at Usk Island due to it raining on Saturday... Never mind!! Look forward to seeing you again at some point. All the best Amanda Wyldwoodwillow"

Lynn reviewed: Weave a willow log basket or backpack at Usk

"I have just spent 2 enjoyable days making a log basket with Amanda and I am delighted with it. Amanda is very clear in the instructions she gives and she is very good at sorting out any mistakes or problems you may have. The venue is warm and her lemon drizzle cake was delicious."
