Small Rush Baskets

Make a small box out of rush on a former (shaped mould). Rush is a wonderfully soft, flexible and beautiful plant material to weave; so flexible that many items are made around a mould or former.

Use simple everyday containers to make your mould and weave a small handy container that  is unique to you. Your finished box will not only be pretty but it will also be useful for holding napkins, stationery, bathroom items or other bits and bobs around your house. 
 
This workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as those with rush weaving experience.
 
All materials, a light lunch and refreshments are included in the workshop fee.
