Hi, I’m Helena Golden
Back home in Ireland Helena creates traditional hand woven baskets and unique home-ware items using sustainably grown willow.
Located close to Carrick on Shannon, along the banks of the Shannon Blueway and within a short drive of Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands and the Wild Atlantic Way. Helena draws inspiration from her idyllic Leitrim roots.
The Willow Woman delivers workshops, both online and in-person, giving participants the skills to weave their own practical and decorative home-ware such as bread baskets, blackberry baskets, bird feeders, garden obelisks and plant pots.
Together we can preserve traditional basketry techniques and pass them down through generations, preserving cultural heritage and traditional craftsmanship.
"The craft is fantastic. You bring it to life with passion, bringing each person to the experience, showing them the skills with a measured though provoking enthusiasm topped with kindness. "
