Children's Courses

Children's courses start at 9.30 a.m. and finish at about 4.00 p.m.

We ask you to bring your own packed lunch on the children's days and we will supply tea, coffee, soft drinks and biscuits and cake for breaks. All materials and tools are provided for all courses.

Sturdy footwear should be worn and although we can all comfortably work under shelter should it rain, it is worth bringing suitable clothing for the short walk across the meadow to the woodland workshop, and this path can get muddy. Full directions are supplied on booking.

Children's Green Woodworking~
Children's Green Woodworking
1 day

This course is designed for novices and is restricted to pairings of one adult / one child for safety reasons.

The courses are hosted Guy Mallinson. We demonstrate how to use pole lathes and shaving horses and green wood hand tools such as the side axe, froe and drawknife. These are ancient wooden machines and tools that are easy to use with a little guidance and practice.

Of course, safety is paramount: as long as basic safety rules are adhered to, the tools are perfectly safe for children aged 10 and upwards to use. Each adult and child pair has their own pole lathe and shaving horse to use on the day, along with all the necessary tools and materials.
