Return to willow & rush

This Spring I have returned to willow and rush weaving; it’s been joyful to get my hands back onto the beautiful pliable stems. Willow and Rush compliment cloth weaving in the challenges of thinking, of form and of choice of material. My technique is improving but I have a way to go to feel satisfied; a lifetime of repetition. A time of reconnection, review and renewal is ahead.
