poster for basket exhibition

i was asked to design a poster / flyer for the Oxfordshire Basketmaker's Association exhibition. I photographed some baskets i have made, and the first idea i came up with was with a little grass basket that i had woven in my garden. Joanna Gilmour (a link to her incredible work later) oversaw the project. We then decided to use a Banbury cake basket because of the local reference. The Banbury cake basket is a traditional design, which i was lucky enough to learn on a course run by Oxford Basketmakers and taught by the amazing Mary Butcher
