Book your place now! Introduction to Green Woodwork course on June 24th and 25th, and July 15th and 16th at the ESCAPE Community allotments, Swaffham. During this course you are introduced to all aspects of a complete 'tree-to-product' process, from selecting cleaving green wood ready for turning, to making items including spoons, spatulas, candlesticks, rolling pins, dibbers and furniture. You are shown how to use pole lathes and shave horses, along with green woodworking hand tools such as the froe, drawknife and spokeshave. For just £50 per day, you can learn all of this in a lovely setting with a tasty lunch from ESCAPE's cob oven included... If you just want to do one day, that's fine. Please let us know your availability soon, though, as places will book up fast!

The workshop at Swaffham's ESCAPE Project in use by participants... We'll be offering 'Introduction to Green Woodwork' courses here once the weather warms up a bit, so watch this space!

Would anybody in the Swaffham area be interested in learning green woodworking? We're hoping to organise some workshops at the ESCAPE Project a bit later in the year... It's a lovely community allotment site, and we would include a yummy lunch made in the cob oven!
