A Zarzo basket is a type of willow basket originating from Spain. It is known for its distinctive criss-cross weave and elegant shape, making it suitable for displaying fruit, flowers, or vegetables.

Jane's background is in arts and crafts. Having studied art, design and furniture making, worked in traditional timber framing and dabbled in stone masonry and stained glass, she then became hooked on basket making, mainly learning from the much respected Gloucestershire basket maker Sheila Wynter. In 2022 she won 3rd prize in the Basketry of the Year Award.
