Rush Seating Course - One Day

£275.00

Join us for a day in our workshop learning one of Britains most endangered crafts:

The day will start with a quick run through of how we harvest, process and prepare the rush for weaving. We’ll then cover all the basics of rush seating from how to start, twisting in new rushes, to tensioning and finishing your seat correctly, and at the end of the day you’ll have your very own footstool to take away with you!

The course fee includes one 12” footstool frame in locally sourced Scottish Ash, all the rush you need for the day and plenty of tea/coffee and biscuits.

Please note: This course is specifically designed for the small footstool frames provided as part of the course. If you have a chair or seat of your own of any size or shape please see our two day course here.
