Meet the Maker - Brigitte McLean

Down here at Le Chat Bleu, we keep things rooted in the soil. Our cafe and gathering space is a great place to invite local makers like Brigitte McLean whose wild nature creations are woven by hand into honest, rugged, and functional art.

Brigitte’s craft is all about honouring the land. She foragers 100% compostable materials straight from our local ditches, forests and fields—blending the rare, feral Acadian willow with supple native willows and at times, incorporating wild Virginia creeper, and sun-dried cattails. No plastics, no wire, just the raw beauty of the countryside shaped into sturdy, ready-made baskets and wall pieces that are built to be used and designed to eventually return to the earth.

Swing by the cafe for a coffee, a good chat, and a look at Brigitte’s latest handwoven pieces. Take a piece of the wild woods home with you.
