Willow Weaving Workshop - Willow platter (SOLD OUT)
About
Come and join the Coddiwomplers for a fun, relaxed willow weaving workshop at our picturesque setting on Deepdale Farm. Under the tuition of two experienced basket makers, you will learn to make a willow platter also known as a Catalan tension tray. We will be using a combination of basketry willow and foraged materials.
Emma and Stuart are teachers and basket weavers based in South Norfolk. Stuart has been honing his craft for over 15 years, with Emma joining as apprentice a few years ago. She is now a fully fledged member of the team and together they provide a fun, supportive environment in which to learn the craft of willow weaving.
In the afternoon workshop you will create a platter that can be used to serve up bread or fruit, or as a decorative wall hanging.
This three-hour workshop is suitable for beginners, so no previous experience of willow weaving is necessary. However, some manual dexterity and hand strength will be required. Minimum age 18.
Teas, coffees and biscuits will be provided.
Maximum 10 participants in each session.
The course is held at Downs Barn, recently modified to allow us to host rural craft courses. Depending on weather, the course will be taught in the open air grass courtyard or under the shelter of the charming barn. Either way the venue will be well ventilated. Please dress suitably for the weather with layers and suitable shoes for uneven ground.
Book in for the morning session as well if you would like to make a decorative dragonfly.
No accommodation is included with this course. We would recommend staying at Deepdale Camping & Rooms, which offer excellent self-catering rooms and camping for tents, campervans and motorhomes.
