Reed Mace ('bulrush') Baskets
Advertisement
An immersive day in the woods weaving a reed mace (bulrush) basket, starting with harvesting the plant. The beautiful texture and subtle colours of these baskets make them a gorgeous addition to your home.
These baskets are perfect for storage, for holding a large plant pot or as a bathroom bin. We’ll be round a cosy camp fire in the autumnal woods for this day of weaving reed mace.
What you’ll learn
How to ID reed mace, Typha latifolia (often known as bulrush), where to find it and its ecology. We’ll cut some on the day, and you’ll learn how to select, harvest and prep it for weaving.
You’ll learn how to do the attractive ‘fitch’ weave, as well as a few other weaving techniques on your basket, plus a secure border.
Guided by Ruby through all the stages, you’ll leave knowing how to make a reed mace basket from living plant to finished item.
