Come and weave a beautiful rush hat with our highly skilled rush weaver Rosie Farey. On this two-day course rush basket maker Rosie Farey will teach you many traditional rush weaving techniques including, check weave, pairing, and track borders. You’ll get to know traditional rush materials and make your own ‘made to measure’ boater hat. You’ll be using English bulrush that Rosie harvests herself from the Somerset levels.
