During this two day workshop we will gather as a group of women to weave soft green river rush together, exploring the relationship between female creativity and weaving through embodiment and practice. You will weave a rounded, lidded pot from rush and willow bark. We will discuss how rush and other river plants are harvested and prepared; how to plan a basket; mould making; weaving using check weave and pairing; how to finish off a border; and how to combine materials and shape off-the-mould. You will leave with a beautiful item to use and skills to continue your basketry journey! This workshop is suitable for beginners, and those with some basic experience. 

This weekend will be held in a private home in central Totnes, Devon. We will be hosted in a cosy space with tea and cake provided. The days will run from 10am - 4.30pm. Various accommodation options are available in and around the town.

Cost: £160 to include materials and refreshments.

You will need to bring a packed lunch each day.
