As part of Anna's Jewelwithy project, Anna and Cornwall College Camborne, Media and Photography met Dave Morgan in Hope Cove, Devon where he told us the evolution of the threatened craft and heritage of withy pots, a traditional type of lobster/crab trap largely made from willow.

As part of my Jewel-Withy project, I am collaborating with Cornwall College and some of the last remaining Withy pot makers in the South West of England to photograph examples of their traditional Withy pots; so that they are documented and similarities and differences can easily be seen. Please find a gallery of traditional Withy pot images taken from various angles below:
Withy Pot Tops

Withy Pot Bottoms
Withy Pot Funnels
Thanks for looking! :)
