Catalan Tray basket Weaving Evening Wednesday 16th July Curdridge Wickham

Catalan Tray Evening Weaving Workshop

Join me for a relaxed and rewarding evening at Hollie Barn, where you’ll learn to craft your own Catalan tray — a beautiful, traditionally woven piece made from willow that originated from Spain.

These sturdy trays are held together through clever tension-based weaving and are perfect for serving food, displaying treasured items, and are ideal for hot bread or using as a decoration to add a rustic touch to your wall. Or if you prefer, you can create a version with a modern variation incorporating a decorative handle.

You will be introduced to the techniques behind this timeless design. No previous experience is needed — just a willingness to work with your hands and enjoy the rhythm of weaving.

Whether you're looking to learn a new skill, unwind with a creative activity, or connect with traditional craftsmanship, this workshop is a perfect way to spend a summer evening.

 What’s included:

• A variety of natural coloured willow and use of tools

• Step-by-step instruction

• Your own Catalan tray to take home

• Refreshments and snacks
