Phi weaves primarily with English rush but has recently discovered the beauty of combining many plant fibres to make decorative and useful objects.  She gathers plant leaves and bark from the garden, her cultivated willow and from the wider countryside.

Join Phi at Westhope to weave different fibres to create something of intense beauty and interest.  Simple weaving techniques are used and minimum tools;  make a beautiful, useful little wall pocket and, if time allows, a table mat.

Phi hopes to inspire everyone to look at what they can use and put weaving skills into action.

Suitable for complete beginners and for students who wish to use their weaving skills to experiment with different materials.
