Sussex Craft Awards finalists
Based near Lewes in Isfield, East Sussex, Studio AMOS is a contemporary craft workshop headed by Irish basketmaker Annemarie O’Sullivan and designer Tom McWalter. Together with a small team, they design and fabricate bespoke woven objects, statement lighting, and large-scale installations that honour ancient British basket-making traditions.
The studio’s creative process is deeply rooted in sustainable living and the landscape. On a half-acre plot near their home workshop, they hand-harvest around 20 distinct varieties of local willow alongside coppiced wood and hay. This intimate relationship with raw materials dictates the texture, weight and balance of each slow, handmade piece. Their designs are heavily informed by the sturdiness of historic agricultural frameworks and the soft curves of the natural terrain.
Studio AMOS regularly showcases its work at prestigious events like London Craft Week and through exclusive, small-batch collection launches. Their highly distinctive sculptural and domestic pieces have earned widespread international acclaim, with features in prominent publications including The New York Times, House & Garden, Country Living, and Crafts magazine.
