Catalan platter/ tray basket Weaving Evening Wednesday 16th July Curdridge Wickham

Catalan  Platter/ Tray Evening Weaving Workshop

Join me for a relaxed and rewarding evening at Hollie Barn, where you’ll learn to craft your own Catalan platter tension tray — a beautiful, traditionally made with willow or a mix of hazel and willow  originating from Cattalonia in Spain n. They were traditionally used to display of bread, fruit cheeses etc and can also be used as a hot platter ideal for putting hot bread on to cool down.

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.

• A variety of natural coloured willow and use of tools
