LARGE WILLOW PLATTER
With Nick Vane
At The Oast Studio, Hartfield, East Sussex
Ready to take your willow weaving further? In this satisfying full-day class, Nick Vane will guide you in creating a large, sturdy woven platter - up to 36cm across, finished with beautiful twisted willow handles. It's a lovely piece to display or use at home, and a real step up in skill and confidence.
This is a class for those who already have some experience of willow basketmaking - whether you've joined one of Nick's classes before or woven elsewhere - so you can build on what you know and tackle something more ambitious. A normal level of hand dexterity is needed, as the twisted handles in particular call for a bit of strength and nimbleness in the fingers.
THE DETAILS:
Duration: Full day, 9am–5pm
Suitable for: Those with some experience of willow basketmaking
Class size: 4
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
Working with willow to build a large, strong, evenly shaped platter base, developing your weaving technique and tension over a bigger form, and creating and attaching twisted willow handles for a handsome, durable finish. You'll leave with your own large willow platter to take home.
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
All willow and materials, teas and coffees, freshly baked treats, and a delicious two-course lunch - all provided by Alison from The Oast Bakery.
WHAT TO BRING:
Just yourself and your enthusiasm - all materials and tools are provided. You may like to bring an apron, though we'll have everything you need.
WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY:
"It was truly an amazing fun day at the Oast Studio. I would highly recommend their basket making day course. I learnt a complete new skill in basketry making a whole basket from scratch. Nick the teacher was excellent and so informative, with kindness and patience and created a lovely vibe in an already beautiful environment. Lunch was delicious including perfect mid morning tarts." - MARIA
