Elizabeth Crawford

Elizabeth Crawford

Elizabeth is a basket maker working primarily in wild foraged materials that include various river plants, rushes, barks and wood. Her pieces incorporate sculptural design, carved wood, woven textiles and basketry, as much as possible using traditional hand crafting techniques. In taught workshops and in her own practice, Elizabeth seeks to create a space where the meditative and somatic elements of weaving and plant connection can be explored.

Her practice offers an ongoing exploration of how plant hunting, harvest and weaving can deepen our relationship with our local ecosystems, as well as with innate and ancient human capacities.  She lives and works on the edge of Dartmoor, UK.
