I first learnt basketmaking over 6 years ago, and have completed a City & Guilds Level 2 Diploma in Basketry. I am a recipient of Arts Council England funding, and am a member of the Heritage Crafts Association and Basketmakers Association. My pieces are regularly exhibited as part of the Shropshire-based artist-maker collective, Weave Only A Trace.I enjoy sharing the creative and wellbeing benefits of basketmaking through facilitating workshops and community-led projects in and around Shropshire. I am able to draw on my previous experience as a landscape architect, environmental educator, and project facilitator to support my community-based work. I have delivered willow workshops and sculpture commissions for various third sector and public organisations, including English Heritage, the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, Small Woods Association, Telford & Wrekin Council, RHS Tatton Park Flower Show, Designs in Mind, Birmingham City University, Walsall Leather Museum, and the Severn Gorge Countryside Trust.www.daisyaskins.co.ukSevern Gorge Countryside TrustThis workshop is being hosted by the Severn Gorge Countryside Trust, a local charity.The Trust’s aim is to promote, protect and conserve the living landscape of the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site, which has a diverse range of habitats, including wildflower meadows, woodlands and heathlands.
