FELICITY IRONS SMALL BATHMAT

FELICITY IRONS SMALL BATHMAT

Felicity Irons, is one of the last of the English rush weavers who is keeping alive a craft that dates back to Anglo Saxon times.The British freshwater rushes she uses, scirpus lacustris schoeneplectus are grown and harvested on the Great River Ouse in Bedfordshire, and Cambridgeshire - a practice that is entirely sustainable. The rushes are dried in the wind and sun, a totally natural practice that results in the varied rush colours which gradually change to a warm honey over time. For her bath mats Felicity plaits wide strips and hand stitches them  together, the ends are finished with a beautifully woven ‘braid’ she weaves from the slimmest of the bullrushes she harvests. Each mat is a work of the most superb craftsmanship using entirely sustainable materials.

80cm x 45cm

Standard size hand woven bathroom mat. Will work anywhere – next to the bath, in front of the shower or use two in front of a double sink.
