Willow Wreath
Hanna Van Aelst

A wreath, woven by hand, in hard-wearing, durable Irish willow. Expert weaver and sculptor, Hanna twists her raw material to form a sturdy wreath which includes several willow varieties, creating depth and interest to the piece. Hanna grows and harvests her own willow which is an integral part of her creative process. Inspired by her surrounding rural landscape of Tipperary, she is interested in sustainable design and a connection with the natural world in her work which is both practical and sculptural.
Each wreath measures approx 35cm in diameter and comes without decoration, giving you a blank canvas to embellish with seasonal foliage or leave undecorated in its beautiful, natural form. As they are handmade there are some variations in size and colour. Suitable for outdoor use.
