Make a Donation

Any donations go towards supporting the continued survival of the endangered craft of rushseatingCenturies of tradition shouldn’t end on our watch.

Traditional rush seating is more than just a technique, it’s a piece of living history currently on the Red List of Endangered Crafts. At The Marchmont Workshop, we’re fighting to keep this tactile, sustainable art form alive, but we need your help to train the next generation of makers.

How you can help:

  • Protect Heritage: Save a craft that’s been passed down for generations.

  • Fund Apprenticeships: Help us bridge the gap between masters and students.

  • Support Sustainability: Champion furniture that’s grown, not manufactured.

Every donation ensures that the rhythmic art of rush weaving remains a career, not a memory.
