Hello there!
I am Lauren Ó Droma, a basket maker learning from Hanna Van Aelst up in her workshop on the foothills of Keeper Hill. I live nestled in her beautiful willow garden in a wattle and daub cabin we built with my husband Ian.

All my offerings on here are made and inspired by Hanna’s teachings, my love for the land, and guided by my curiosities on how to be a guardian of life.
