Learn the traditional craft of ‘bodging’ – turning green wood on a pedal operated pole lathe and use a shave horse and draw knife to make a simple wooden spoon or spatula.

During the ‘taster day’ you will you will experience ancient crafts, tools and equipment and learn how to select and split green wood for turning and spoon carving. You will then prepare wood for turning and make a simple piece on the pole lathe (e.g. tool handle, spurtle, garden dibber, rolling pin, stringline pegs). During the second half of the day you will split wood and shave it smooth to make a simple spoon or spatula.

This is an introduction to greenwood skills/coppice crafts which can be developed in more in depth workshops which we will offer later in the year such as making a three legged stool etc.

The workshop will run from 10am-4pm – cost: 90 euros. We will provide all of the materials plus tea/coffee/biscuits but you will need to bring a packed lunch. (More details below the images)

If the weather is fine we will be working in our own woodland setting – if it is too wet, windy or too hot we will move all of the equipment into our barn.

Please note: This workshop involves using a treadle powered lathe so a basic level of physical ability is necessary but we will prepare some ‘blanks’ in advance for those who find it difficult to use the splitting tools.

You will need to wear comfortable old work clothes or overalls and flat, sturdy, closed in shoes such as walking boots etc and bring a pair of gardening gloves.
