Wooden and vegetable tanned leather sculptural basket hand made from start to finish in the North West Highlands of Scotland.

Using skills learned from my time studying traditional clinker boatbuilding, I steam-bent oak to create sculptural forms before combining them with my signature handwoven leatherwork.

Locally-sourced Scottish Oak wood sits alongside Italian vegetable-tanned leather in a combination that I feel celebrates my heritage and culture, specific to the West Coast Highlands.

Cruinnich is entirely unique, and features a perfectly rounded handle to create a full circle. The handle is attached with solid brass fittings which compliment the light fawn tone of the thread.

Cruinnich: Scottish Gaelic. Verb. 1. Collect, accumulate 2. Gather 3. Make round 4. Draw close

Materials: Scottish Oak, Italian Vegetable Tanned Leather and Nylon

Size: 46 × 45 × 32 cm
