Studio Amos

Annemarie O’Sullivan is an Irish basketmaker and designer, known for creating woven objects that reflect the natural materials she cultivates and gathers by hand. She grows around twenty varieties of willow and works with coppiced wood, crafting pieces that honour both land and tradition.

Tom McWalter is a designer who works with Annemarie to develop new forms and help turn ideas into objects. Tom brings a light combination of drawing, curiosity and practicality to the design process. He loves to investigate the potential of materials. In the last few years this exploratory approach has extended to natural ink making as a way to understand the landscape.

Rooted in the strength of agricultural baskets and shaped by the curves of the landscape, Annemarie’s work draws deeply from ancient techniques and endangered crafts. From domestic baskets and lighting to large-scale woven forms, her practice is grounded in heritage and inspired by the timeless language of weaving and binding.
