Collection: Janet Sampson

Dechreuodd Janet Sampson wneud tua deng mlynedd yn ôl ac mae wedi mynychu cyrsiau gyda nifer o wneuthurwyr profiadol ac arloesol o’r DU, Iwerddon, Denmarc a Ffrainc. Mae ei harddull yn cael ei ddylanwadu’n bennaf gan fasgedwaith traddodiadol Ffrengig a Chatalanaidd, wedi’i addasu ar gyfer naws fwy cyfoes. Dechreuodd docio helyg mewn gwely cymunedol lleol yn 2017 ac erbyn hyn mae’n tyfu tua 20 o wahanol fathau o helyg am eu rhinweddau amrywiol o ran maint, hyblygrwydd a lliw, sy’n cyfuno i roi golwg unigryw i’w gwaith.

Janet Sampson started making around ten years ago and has taken courses with a number of experienced and pioneering makers from the UK, Ireland, Denmark and France. Her style is mainly influenced by traditional French and Catalan basketry, adapted for a more contemporary feel. She began coppicing willow at a local community bed in 2017 and now grows around 20 different varieties of willow for their various qualities of size, flexibility and colour which combine to give her work a distinctive look.
