Helena Golden

Willow Woman

Helena creates traditional hand woven baskets and unique home-ware items using sustainably grown willow.

​

Located close to Carrick on Shannon, along the banks of the Shannon Blueway and within a short drive of Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands and the Wild Atlantic Way.  Helena draws inspiration from her idyllic Leitrim roots.

​

The Willow Woman delivers workshops, both online and in-person, giving participants the skills to weave their own practical and decorative home-ware such as bread baskets, blackberry baskets, bird feeders, garden obelisks and plant pots.
