Green Woodworking
Ben and Hugh, from Bristol Tree Craft will teach you all about the craft of green woodworking, which is shaping freshly cut wood into finished items/objects with hand tools.
Green Woodwork brings lots of benefits for our mental health and general wellbeing by learning a new skill, connecting with natural materials and the enjoyment of making something with our hands.
The sessions will also offer a space for a small group of young people aged 18-25 (up to 10) to get to know each other and learn a new creative process together.
All tools and materials will be provided.
The workshops will be beginner friendly – no previous experience required!
Programme
- Week 1: Butter Spreaders – whittle your own spreader from a branch and use it to make a delicious snack!
- Week 2: Kubb – make this Swedish game (a bit like skittles but better!) and go-head-to-head to try to beat the opposing team!
- Weeks 3-6: Woodland stool – craft your very own foot-stool from an ash log to take home with you.
- Weeks 7-8: Cooking spoon – develop some advanced carving techniques by creating a unique cooking spoon to make your favourite meal with!
Additional Info
You will be required to wear closed-top shoes during the sessions (no sandals) and will need warm clothes with you.
