Catalan platter/ tray basket willow basketry evening Thursday 21st May Titchfield Fareham

Catalan  Platter/ Tray Evening Weaving Workshop

 Join me for a relaxed and rewarding evening where you’ll learn to craft your Catalan platter tension tray, which were traditionally made with willow or a mix of hazel and willow. You can use them to  display/ serve  of bread, fruit, cheeses etc  and can also be used as a hot platter  for bread  etc . 

These sturdy trays are held together through clever tension-based weaving and are perfect for serving food, displaying treasured items, or using as a decoration to add a rustic touch to your wall. 

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
