I also got to attend a workshop on how to make rushlights. Rushlights were recorded as having been made in Britain by the native inhabitants by Roman chroniclers, and remained in use in the poorest households as a more affordable alternative to candles into the 19th century.

They're made by stripping most of the epidermis off the soft rush Juncus effusus, leaving only a thin strip to provide structure but exposing the inner pith. The rushes are then dried, soaked in fat and burned for light. Traditionally pig or mutton fat would have been used, but as candles became more widely commercially available it was apparently quite common for families to buy one candle and melt it down to make 30 rushlights, as a less messy alternative to rendering their own fat. You can use vegetable oil as I did here but solid fats are less messy.

Anyway the reason I've been travelling through London being bewildered by hipster cafes is I went to the Institute of Outdoor Learning's #Bushcraft conference this weekend and taught a couple of besom broom making workshops.

I shall be teaching #CoilBasketry at #Crediton EcoCrafternoon this Saturday (29th November), which I'm actually rather annoyed about because it means I can't attend the other workshops myself which look amazing. Bike maintenance! Drop spindle! there's also a craft material exchange. Come along and do all the cool stuff I can't.

Took photos of my great-grandma-embroidered table cloths for family, unironed though, as that gets done before use. Though I’d share here too. 😊

The bluebirds square (first) was the one I put the lace edging around with mum on Facetime in her final days, so it hasn’t been used. It’s the first time I’ve had it out in years and I’m relieved the grief has softened.

If we ever have to move to a place with a small kitchen, I’d use the square ones more often, but only the big one with the napkins works on the current table.
