Description
If you want to learn new skills, use your hands, and create something wonderful, this one-day course exploring the traditions of green woodworking is for you. You'll learn about the characteristics of different species of wood and then make something you can take home and keep - a mallet, spatula or whittling stick! You'll get your hands on a wide range of tools, and learn basic skills to develop for more complex projects. Workshop programme: You'll arrive by 10am, and be directed to the workshop. From there, one of our trainers will lead you through the workshop. Our trainers are all experienced crafters and work with a range of groups delivering workshops around Scotland.
