Description

Set in the stunning rolling hills of Speyside at the very heart of malt whisky country in the scottish highlands. This 2-day consecutive course is suitable for both beginners and people with previous experience. Create your very own unique garden gate to take home, using only traditional hand tools and no screws, nails or glue (perish the thought!). Long before the days of sawmills, this is how traditional rustic gates were made. Cleft ash timber is far stronger and durable than saw mill planed timber, not to mention much more pleasing to the eye! An introduction to Ged - Creator and Tutor at Gedwood; If you're thinking about doing a workshop at Gedwood or buying one of our handcrafted products, we thought it might be handy for you to know a bit more about the teacher and creator! Ged has been a Countryside ranger for Moray Council for 20 years. He studied forestry at Bangor University and not surprisingly he enjoys being outdoors with nature. Ged first got into green woodworking through renovating his house and garden. He built his own bespoke kitchen from wood and taught himself as he went. He enjoyed it so much he decided he'd like to teach others how to craft beautiful items from natural resources. Ged's interests include hill walking, bird watching, yoga, conservation, environmental issues and northern soul. He's a very calm and encouraging teacher and an all round great human being!
