Rush Plait Napkin Rings

Plaited rush napkin rings with embroidery thread wrap. Available to order in a set of two

(one green, one red) or four (two green, two red).

Handmade by award winning basketmaker Ella Merriman.

Rush weaving and basketry is an endangered craft in the UK, with very few practitioners remaining. Ella fell in love with rush the first time she worked with it and describes her creative process as a collaboration between herself and the material. As no human is the same, neither are the rush stems and Ella chooses to respect each one, working symbiotically with the plant to craft each piece. 

Although the scale and design will match the imagery above, no two products are ever the same. Ella celebrates this originality and hopes that you will too.

MATERIALS:
Bulrush with 100% cotton thread wrap. The colours of the rush will vary but will generally be green initially and slowly mellow to a more golden tone over time.

Wipe with a damp cloth to clean and leave to air-dry. As this is an organic product, ensure it is not stored in damp conditions.

MEASUREMENTS:
Approximately 6cm in diameter.
