“This course provides an introduction to the craft of the woodland bodger. Using greenwood you will learn how to cleave, shape with an axe and drawknife, and turn on a pole-lathe.. You will take home a range of finished items such as candle holders, garden dibbers, spoons, letter openers and three-legged stools.
Jo is a professional chairmaker and she has been a teacher of greenwoodwork for the last fifteen years.”Click to enlarge photos
