Traditional Basket Making in Rural Ireland with Tom Delaney
from Zig Zag · host Sylvia Friday
Tom Delaney is a traditional Irish basket weaver based in County Mayo and the founder of Ould Crafty. Formerly an archaeologist, Tom spent several years travelling and working abroad before returning home to Ireland, where he combined his love of heritage, craft, and storytelling into a business that’s both a passion and a pleasure. Today, he focuses on reviving traditional Irish basket-making techniques, working mainly with willow and natural materials rooted in rural life and history.https://www.ouldcrafty.com/https://www.instagram.com/ouldcrafty/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaJa6talLP45ClGid9gk0gQSupport the musicians from this episode: https://thearmaghrhymers.bandcamp.com/album/volume-iiFull Episode Show Notes: woodland weaver.com/zigzag8
