About Jeanette Gray:

"I began weaving in 2012 when I attended my first willow basketry course- it was love at first basket! Since then I have completed a 2 year professional training in basketry from City Lit College in London.

"Although I am originally from Scotland, I now live in Machynlleth Mid Wales. I specialise in using wild materials gathered from the landscape, and use weaving as a way of engaging with individuals and various community groups who want to learn practical skills, connect to heritage and landscape and explore their relationship with the natural world.

I believe that weaving is a tactile way of approaching many of the issues that we face today, both as individuals and collectively. Not only is it of huge personal therapeutic value, but by working with foraged plants we come to experientially understand the value of our natural world and are inspired to care for it. Basketry also opens up new ways of connecting with our complex heritage- through the use of local materials combined with weaving techniques from all over the world, and skills handed down over thousands of years, we are able to explore ideas around home, place and land rights."
