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.

Las is entirely unique, and uses vintage nylon from the 1960’s to create a strong, yet fine, geometric pattern along the curved outer edge, leather face of the basket.

Las: Scottish Gaelic. Verb. 1. Kindle 2. Light 3. Ignite

Materials: Scottish Oak, Italian Vegetable Tanned Leather and Vintage 1960s Nylon

Size: 40 × 32 × 12 cm
