I am retiring from teaching basketry over the coming months and am also drawing back from taking commissions. I would like to thank all visitors to this website, to my Instagram page and to my studio for your fantastic support over the last 6 years as I have developed Rushmore Baskets.
I have a few courses coming up if you’d like to catch me before I go!
24 and 25 February 2024 at Hellen’s Manor – a weekend residential (or non-residential) course making a rush bread basket one day and an asymmetric willow basket with Helen Munday the other. Contact Hellen’s Manor for availability and booking: https://hellensmanor.com/eventsem/basket-weaving-residential-retreat/
28 February 2024 at Westhope College – a day exploring rush and other fibres from the garden or wild. Contact Westhope College for availability and booking: https://www.westhope.org.uk/courses/basketry.html
9 and 10 April 2024 at Westhope College – two days making a rush sun hat. Contact Westhope College for availability and booking – see link above.
I will also be selling off some stock occasionally – see my Instagram page Clair_at_Rushmore for information, or contact me at Rushmorebaskets@gmail.com for details.
I will retire from 1 May 2024, although my hands will never stop making!
Wishing you all the best
Clair Murphy
