What we'll do
We will make a three leg stool during the session using coppiced hazel for legs and sustainably sourced and native sweet chestnut refreshing and learning new skills, knowledge and understanding along the way. Soft and hard skills are investigated as part of the workshop as well as identifying equipment and methods of working to allow your clients at your location to safely engage with this type of activity. A £10 fee is payable at the workshop if you take your stool away with you. This helps towards materials costs.

Making, Learning, Fun
A life long educator of all things creative. Originally trained to be a furniture maker at the London College of Furniture. Retrained to be a secondary school teacher of Craft, Design and Technology. Reached the roles of Head of Department and Head of Careers. Worked in a range of schools including Special Education in a Secure Unit. More recently after finding Forest School I have been working with pre-school and primary age children facilitating their outdoor learning experiences. For the past 17 years I have been the stay at home parent for my two now teenage children. During this time I developed a small creative practice offering practical engagement activities,games and challenges for families at festivals and events. Currently I have been coppicing hazel and designing and building green wood furniture mainly for hire to woodland based weddings, banquets, festivals and events helping to keep alive traditional but endangered crafts.

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience is an educational activity and the 14-day cooling-off period under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 therefore applies. After the 14 day period my standard policy will apply.
