The Natural Room features a collection of traditional and contemporary UK baskets, showcasing a range of weaving techniques and natural materials. This exhibition highlights the diverse regional basketry traditions, each reflecting its historical uses, demonstrating inventive solutions dating back to Neolithic times.
A key element of the room is Studio Amos’ striking use of heather. Two prominent pieces, "Froach Mór" and "Great Breck Heather Light," highlight the versatility of this challenging material.
In addition to basketry, The Natural Room will feature handwoven throws by Catarina Riccabona. Each throw is unique, with slight irregularities that mark handmade craftsmanship.
