Join Hermione Toulson for this two day rush basketry workshop.
27 Feb - 28 Feb 2026
You will learn how rush is harvested and prepared for weaving, and make your own shoulder bag/purse on a block/mould. You will explore a wide range of soft basketry techniques and a variety of side weaves.
There will be an option to add a leather shoulder strap (purchased on the day for an additional fee of £10) or to plait your own rush strap if time permits. The workshop is suitable for beginners and those with some basket making or weaving experience.
The course is taking place in The Nest at Whitmuir Farm Shop and Café near West Linton. Hot drinks will be provided. There is a café and deli on site, although you are also welcome to bring your own packed lunch.
