We were so delighted when Jenny agreed to be Tinsmiths’ Artist for h-Art week this year. We’ve admired her work for years. The baskets are always beautifully made and Jenny uses the natural colour and qualities of willow masterfully, but what makes her baskets stand out is the design innovation that Jenny brings to the tradition of basketmaking. There’s always a long waiting list for them and she can only commit to a few exhibitions each year, so we feel really pleased that she has agreed to show at Tinsmiths this Autumn and look forward to her baskets large and small. If you’d like to what else will be on offer during Herefordshires Art Week  2009 (12 – 20 September),  the details will be posted on the H-art site from July 2009 http://www.herefordshire.gov.uk/h-art/Members.aspx 

Here are just a few examples the baskets:
