If time allows, we will also look at tension trays (perfect for hot pans or for place mats), which work in a similar way to the Tatza.

You will learn how to:

  • select the rods for the basket
  • choose colour to develop pattern in the weave
  • manipulate rods to give a curvaceous form
  • methodically weave the basket
  • pull up the basket from flat to rounded
  • trim & tidy the basket

Perfect for all levels.
