Rush Hats

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.

Being so wonderfully soft and supple, weaving with rush is perfect for both beginners and those that have a bit of experience.

Full payment for each course is required when booking (please do contact us if this is a problem).  You can change the date or cancel your place up to 30 days before the course starts but there is a £25 charge. The full course fee is non-refundable after this time, however we will always try to fill the cancelled place. If we can fill your place, we are of course happy to transfer you to another course.

Please note there are no dogs allowed on site and while we give you full safety briefings all courses are attended at your own risk.

All courses are for 18 years and over.
