Wandering Fitch Basket

Wandering Fitch Basket

£55.00

Crafted from Dicky Meadows willow, Lewis Prosser’s Wandering Fitch Basket showcases the intricate and challenging “fitched” technique. This weave, often used in traditional fishing baskets, creates an openwork effect by tightly twisting two willow rods around each other between the uprights. The result is a basket with bands of gaps that allow for quick drainage, making it both functional and visually striking.
