WHAT’S ON 2012
FEB 23rd – CARAVANSERAI CRAB POT ‘do tank’
Greg Humphries will be leading a crab pot making session at Treloan for local residents and Univ College Falmouth MA Art and Environment students.
Greg initially worked with caravanserai on an arts placement in 2009 when he regenerated a local willow coppice that was originally planted for making crab pots. During this time he met villager Allan Collins and together they sought out a teacher, John Hurrell of Port Loe toward re-introducing this dying art to Portscatho. In this pic by local photographer Mary Alice (www.justnicephotos.co.uk), Allan demonstrates his new skill for My Cornwall TV 2010
3 years later we are closer than ever to witnessing the skill being re-instated in the village as joining us are Si & Cat Holman who are developing a local sustainable fishing project ‘Teach a Man to Fish‘.
Si and Cat have also worked with us before (Si and Mac built the willow & canvas raft recently featured on Caroline Quentin’s Cornwall) and Cat was our first caravanserai writer-in -residence.
Preparations are underway for producing 5 crab pots, we’ll be cutting willow from 8.30 am on Thurs 23rd & will set up the jigs outside (weather depending) – so you’ll find us by the polytunnel in the project field.
