Description: | After working as an assistant weaver with Morgan and Oates in Ledbury, Crisp studied woven textiles at West Surrey College of Art and Design from 1982-1985. Concentrating on the British Basketmaking Industry for her degree thesis, her interest is basketmaking intensified. On graduating in 1985, she began a one year apprenticeship with remowned British basketmaker David Drew. Crisp practices a traditional craft in a traditional way, making baskets from willow she has grown herself. Her life revolves around the seasons. She attaches great importance to function and all her pieces are designed with that in mind. The tray acquired for the collection combines a split willow base with a woven willow border. Jenny Crisp continues to exhibit her baskets internationally and regularly sells her work at Chelsea Crafts Fair, London. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1998 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Jenny Crisp | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
