Fiber-rush baskets

Jennie will teach how to make these baskets of fiber rush (paper fiber), which doesn't need to be soaked like wicker basketry, and it comes in many colors!

March 23 and 30, 2017 (two sessions per basket) 
$18 materials fee ~ contact the School Store by 3/3 to register!











We will use 5/32" diameter rush, which is sold by weight. One medium basket probably uses 1 lb of rush, so it's fun to get a couple of colors and share. You can bring your own materials or order from the School Store (use the email address at the bottom of that page if you don't see a specific link). If you know a local source, please let me know; otherwise, The Caning Shop http://www.caning.com/html/product/FIRUSHC.html in Berkeley, CA is the only source I've found for the colored rush. (Craft brown and yellow are widely available and less expensive.)

  1. Wendy here from your School Store! I will be placing a bulk order of the fiber rush on March 2, 2017. If you would like me to include your share of supplies in this order please place your order by emailing me at hartsbrookschoolstore@hartsbrook.org by March 1, 2017
