A basket weaver since 2015, Armelle weaves mainly wicker (willow).
This original and universal skill has been passed down from generation to generation since the dawn of time. Before the advent of plastic, this craft was widely practised for making everyday objects. In every farming family, at least one person mastered the techniques of making baskets, hampers and fish traps using plants available near their homes (hazel, chestnut, grass, willow, rush, reed, etc.).
Practising such an ancient craft, which is also extremely respectful of nature, is a real source of pride. She chose to weave willow (osier) for its flexibility, strength and the wide variety of willow species available, which allow for naturally colourful creations. Her creations can be found at craft markets and plant fairs.
