This set of three finely woven nesting baskets made from English bulrush were commissioned for a client in Tokyo. Felicity works closely with a shop in Tokyo that has a cooking school attached. The baskets are typically used for rice. Bulrush is the name given to several varieties of wetland grass-like plants.

This chair made from English bulrush and oak was created in collaboration with designer Christopher Jenner. The essence of the project is the meeting of technology and master craftsmanship. The finely woven rush seat took Felicity over 200 hours to weave. It was woven over the form of a mould and, when dry, sent to a joiner to “sandwich” inside a CNC oak frame. The seat is one of twelve from a limited edition available at Gallery Fumi, London.

Over 100 metres of English bulrush were used to create these large log baskets. The plait needs to be entirely dry before being hand sewn round a former or mould. The log baskets can be made in many shapes and sizes and should easily last for up to 50 years.

These handwoven slippers were made to measure from English bulrush. Felicity was inspired to make them when she found a similar pair of shoes while exploring France. This is the first pair she made.

This table runner is made from English bulrush using a chain-pairing weave. Felicity also uses this versatile and beautiful weave to make blinds and bedheads as well as bags. Last year she made 30 bedheads, 3 metres wide, in this weave for Heckfield Place, a hotel in Hampshire.
