Last Saturday's meeting of Bedfordshire Weavers, Spinners and Dyers was a rush weaving workshop led by Felicity Irons (www.rushmatters.co.uk).
The picture above was our raw materials.
We started our first project by weaving stays in the middle, then adding 2 lengths of rush which we wove around the stays.
The round mat was the result of our labours before lunch, after which Felicity showed us how to make the angel fish, in preparation for the windmill bag. I'm afraid my bag or pot pouri pouch is not finished yet but it will be .. soon.
