Passionate about willow basketry and traditional craftsmanship, professional designer – maker Sarah Le Breton concentrates on handcrafting work that marries heritage basket forms and traditional English techniques to create stylish products for modern living.

Living in Devon, South West England, Sarah uses locally sourced Somerset willow and rush materials, often harvested by herself.

Sarah is ever evolving her work making baskets that explore traditional techniques, creating sculptural lighting and aiming to save the critically endangered craft form of whole willow seating.

An accomplished and well regarded teacher, Sarah regularly offers her own Willow Day Workshops, basketmaking courses that are held at Chevithorne, near Tiverton in Devon.

Sarah has been involved in teaching projects throughout the UK and Europe. Clients include River Cottage, the RHS, Somerset Rural Life Museum and the Soho House Group.
