Experimenting with bulrush as wicks for small lights

How did people light up the dark before electricity and candles? We experiment with bulrush — a plant material that has served as wicks in small lamps and bowls for centuries. Get close to a piece of everyday magic from the past, and see how light is kindled with help from nature.
