Hanging planter workshop using the technique of steam bending wood

X

Description

A creative experience for adults wanting to experience the technique of steam bending and create a beautiful planter to take away the same day. Don't be put off if you have never worked with wood before - this is not traditional wood work (it's much more fun!) This half day course will be spent creating your own stylish wooden planter. We also work with the wonderfully sustainable material of cork to make a cork hanger for your planter. You will have the creative freedom to make the piece you are working on unique to you through the numerous finishing options available on the day. Participants on our courses usually end the day amazed by not only the capabilities of the unique technique of steam bending but by the creation they are taking home with them. We hope you will join us and come away with a beautifully unique planter and an experience you will be talking about for years to come. Maximum of 7 places available per workshop. If you would like to book a private group course with us please contact to arrange an alternative date.
