Description
‘My straw baskets are made using the knotting technique used in the critically endangered craft of Fair Isle Strawback Chair making,’ Eve says. ‘They are made from hand-harvested straw. The large one was made in Orkney and was from straw grown there. It is the first piece I ever made and features an oak base with oak corner dowels. The small one is woven with straw from Shetland Black Aets and has a base of reclaimed oak with walnut pin details.’
A: Height 15cm, width 27cm, depth 25cm.
