Frances Keenan - Guest Instructor

Frances Keenan

Frances began weaving willow aged nine in a field in Wales. An early talent was realized and nurtured with help from basket weavers Norah Kennedy, Jenny Crisp and in recent years, Joe Hogan.

After studying textiles at Glasgow school of art, she returned to the Somerset Levels where she spent her early childhood. There she weaves willow grown in the fields around her, making traditional baskets, sculpture and furniture.

You will meet Frances on the woodland craft courses teaching basketry and how to make all food taste of ginger.

Special skill – making all food taste of ginger.
