Born 30- 06- 1951
I am educated as a teacher with wood, metal, craft & design as main subjects in 1974.
Worked with willow & weaving since 1984. I have created an international willow centre
at Vissinggaard near Braedstrup in Denmark. Since 1989 numerous basketry courses have been
held here with teachers from all over Europe, several international symposiums with themes
on basketry and willow work have been held, as well as "Big Willow and Basketry Day",
a professional 2-day get-to-gether for basket makers and artists combined with a public
basketry craft fair with stalls and exhibitions. This event has been held 6 times.
I have participated in the exhibitions and stalls at each of these events.
Since 2003 I have been deeply involved in basketry projects in Burkina Faso. Fifty women are
involved in creating shopping baskets for export.
I am part of a group of ten basket makers called Baskets4life.
