A classic craft with a contemporary flair. Our rush and willow weaving courses are one day workshops in London and perfect for beginners.

Great Britain has a long tradition of basket making and techniques we use today were developed thousands of years ago.

We offer two distinct types of basket making. Both are easy to pick up, perfect for absolute beginners and both produce marvellous results.

Rush Baskets are made from natural ‘Bull’ rushes, harvested from the marshes and worked while green and damp- each new rush being woven into the path of the previous one. The shapes are moulded over forms and worked without tools. As each rush is unique, the basket has a beautiful individual quality and lasts for years as its fibres stay strong yet pliable.
