Woodland Stool making Workshop  

Woodland Stool Making Workshop

Sunday 29th November | 10am–3pm

Ages: 12+ years

Join us for a full day hands-on woodland woodworking workshop where we'll use traditional hand tools and techniques to create our own rustic wooden stools to take home.

Working with natural timber, we'll make a traditional split-log stool, learning how to shape, prepare each section before putting it all together. 

We'll explore a range of traditional greenwood woodworking tools, including the shave horse, drawknife, pull saws and hand augers, with plenty of guidance and time to practise.

Throughout the day, we'll learn about working with wood, using tools safely and the satisfaction of making something useful from natural materials.

What we'll get up to:

• Introduction to traditional greenwood woodworking

• Learning to use a shave horse, drawknife, pull saw and hand auger

• Preparing and shaping timber for our stools

• Measuring, drilling and fitting the legs

• Assembling our own rustic stool

• Learning about sustainable woodland materials 

• Taking home our finished handmade stools

No previous woodworking experience needed. All tools and materials provided.

Places are limited to allow plenty of individual guidance throughout the workshop.
