Basketmakers Southwest brings together craftspeople interested in making baskets, willow sculpture, chair seating, rushwork and other related traditional and modern crafts.

We promote good workmanship, encourage historical studies, the growing of suitable willow varieties and the use of a range of unusual materials.

Our members are mainly from the southwest of England, Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and Somerset, although there are some from further afield. We are affiliated to the Basketmakers Association, which has a wide international membership.
