Join local basketmaker, Karla Pearce, to weave a beautiful willow Catalan Platter. These platters, also known as tension trays, offer an enjoyable introduction to the world of willow basket making. You will learn the skills of hoop making, simple weaving and pairing as well as a tie to finish the handles of the tray. Karla will also talk about willow growing and the preparation of willow for weaving. Small willow plants will be available for purchase on the day so that you can grow your willow at home.
Come and discover a treasure trove of spells, rituals, and magical techniques to use day to day. Inspired by the history of Welsh folk magic and lore, but rooted in the here and now. During this workshop you will learn how to create your own protective charms, how and why to build altars at home for a variety of purposes, and also how to divine into the future.
