Courses

I very much enjoy passing on my basketry skills. Having taught large groups in the past I now prefer to teach individuals or small groups in my own workshop. This way the course can be tailored to suit the students' needs. These courses are arranged when there is sufficient interest! If you would like to learn, please contact me.

Articles

Period Living Magazine will feature Lise's work in the October issue. The feature by Claudia Bryant is the main decorating story for the October issue of Period Living magazine. The idea behind the story is to show how traditional British crafts influence the design and production of contemporary pieces thus showing the reinterpretation of these traditional skills.
