Hand Bound Brush Making Workshop

Join basketmaker Simon Cooper (The Bumbling Basketeer) for a relaxed, hands-on introduction to the satisfying craft of hand-bound brush making. Using natural Tampico or Arenga fibres and colourful nylon thread, you’ll create fully functional brushes that are as satisfying to use as they are to look at. These brushes are made to work hard but they’re also beautiful objects in their own right. Hang them on the wall, keep them by the sink, or give them as a gift.

During the workshop, you’ll make up to three brushes, working across two different brush forms. You’ll also explore decorative details and finishing touches, allowing you to personalise each piece so that no two brushes are ever the same.
