Animals and birds, woven rod by rod

All creatures of all sizes, from tiny mice to large mammals and birds. Hares that gaze at the moon, a fox with a long brush of a tail, a pheasant fresh off the workbench.

Meet the menagerie

I weave each animal by hand, so no two come out quite the same.

Would you like an animal of your own?

I work closely with each customer to make a sculpture that fits what they have in mind, from a tiny mouse to a large mammal or bird.

  1. 01

    Tell me your idea

    The animal or bird, and whether it's for the house or the garden.

  2. 02

    Approve the design

    I check in with you at agreed stages before I carry on.

  3. 03

    Woven by hand

    At least three weeks, because the willow has to soak first.
