Here is an old price list that I found in an old pc that we used to use
WILLOW POOL BASKETS, STEVE FULLER BA HONS, 9 WESTON HOUSES, DOVE NEST LANE, ENDMOOR, NR KENDAL, CUMBRIA LA8 0HA
TEL. 015395-67056
Willow Pool Baskets began as 'Hedgerow Baskets' in 1979. Steve Fuller was initially taught by John Rome, a Cumbrian farmer who was a noted basketmaker who grew his own willow and specialised in fishing creels. Willow basketry has a strong tradition in the border regions of Cumbria and Dumfriesshire. John Rome was taught by his uncle, and local farms used to be supplied with 'swill baskets' [frame baskets for harvesting potatoes, feeding livestock etc] by itinerant craftsmen using willow and hazel from local woods and riverbanks. I aim to continue the tradition of sturdy, durable country baskets for a variety of uses and also will be offering some baskets made of recycled contemporary material.I am also interested in using living willow for environmental sculpture such as tunnels and mazes, and can advise or assist on living history/countryside/environmental projects. I welcome enquiries for repair and restoration/reconstruction work. I can also advise on willow cultivation and obtain cuttings for planting.
Demonstrations, workshops, talks etc can be arranged for schools, museums, art centres and countryside venues. Some of my past events have been at Tullie House [Carlisle], Durham Dales Centre [Stanhope], Bluecoat Display Centre [Liverpool], Carlisle Castle, Primervera (Cambridge),Althorp [Northhampton], Bede Museum [Jarrow], Woodland Event [East Cumbria Countryside Project], Tweeddale Museum [Peebles], Seatoller Barn [Keswick] and the Great North Forest (Tyne and Wear/Durham).
