Rush Mat Weaving (Afternoon Workshop)
Advertisement
Join us on Saturday 5th December to craft your own traditional rush table mat in the beautiful setting of Abbey House.
Rush weaving is a traditional craft deeply tied to wetland habitats like that of the Somerset Levels. In this workshop led by tutor Hannah Aitken, you will be guided through the process of weaving a round rush table mat using locally harvested river rushes from the River Isle.
Over the course of 3 hours, you will learn simple rush weaving techniques and create either two small rush mats or one large mat to take home with you.
So join us for this afternoon foray into the heritage craft of rush weaving!
£40 per person. All tools and materials provided. Suitable for beginners.
