Home education mornings
8–18 years old
These mornings are open to all children, aged eight to 18. We will always try to find a project that is both suited to a person's ability and is something they want to make. We use traditional hand tools and locally sourced wood, wherever possible, and encourage anyone who comes to the workshop to complete their project to the very best of their ability. Everyone is encouraged to give attention to detail and they always end up with a beautiful object that they are proud of. We aim to create an atmosphere of warmth and fun where everyone feels comfortable and encouraged to do their best.
Woodwork – Friday
We teach projects in wood suitable for all levels from a simple carved bowl to musical instruments and furniture. Some of the things that have made on these mornings over the past year include stools, dove-tailed boxes with marquetry lids, candle holders, spoons, wooden animals, snow boards, butter boards and knives, guitars, drums, lyres, and go-carts.
Silverwork – Friday
We offer a basic introduction to silversmithing. This starts with the making of simple silver rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings and moves to more complicated stone-setting.
The cost is £10.00 plus materials. If you are interested you are invited to come and meet us and see how the workshops works. Bursaries available.
