About the event

Whether you want time and space for making your project happen, maybe you’ve been on one of our courses and would like to practice your new found skills, perhaps you fancy whittling and chatting round the fire, perhaps you want to use a tool that you don’t have, or need a bit of guidance.  Whatever the reason, you are welcome to join us for craft club on a Thursday evening.

For those of you that have been before or would like to get on with your own project, you are welcome to join us at the reduced rate of £10.  For those of you who are just starting out on your woodcraft journey, each session we will have a demonstration showing you how to make a simple item.  This week we will be cutting and shaping interesting pieces of wood to make small mushrooms.

From whittling a spoon round the fire, making a spatula on a shavehorse, carving mushrooms, making jewellery, shrinkpots, cordage, to making a stool and finishing an abandoned project.  All these have happened at craft club in the past.

We will be in the craft area, where there are work benches, shave horses and blocks.  Some tools will be available to borrow and coppiced wood available to use ( large amounts or planked will need to be ordered in advance and paid for)

This event is for adults and young people aged 14+.  Under 18s must be accompanied by and supervised by an adult.

Tea and coffee will be available during the session, please bring your own mug and a packed tea.  Contributions of cake and biscuits to share are welcome!
