Last July I was out in my very stylish waders gathering bulrush with this workshop in mind!

Bulrush or Schoenoplectus acutus, is one of my absolute favorite plants to weave. It’s strong, flexible and versatile. Bulrush is a member of the sedge family but unlike most sedges “with edges” it is round and smooth. In our area bulrush is found in slow moving fresh water - lakes and ponds are ideal. A little side note, in the U.K. cattails are called bulrush…don’t be confused. :)

WORKSHOP DETAILS

This workshop will be a wonderful way to get to know bulrush as a weaving material and to create a practical and study little woven basket. We’ll do a plaited start and then a simple border to tie it all together.

Who’s ready to play with BULRUSH!!!!!
