About this experience

• Apr 28, 10am-3pm / May 12, 10am-3pm SOLD OUT
• May 25, 10am-3pm / Jun 8, 10am-3pm SOLD OUT

Learn green woodworking skills and make your own three-legged stool in this two-part workshop in a woodland setting. In the first session you will make your stool seat and legs. The legs are then dried before fitting, at the next session. Participants will be guided through basic whittling techniques with the draw-knife and travisher, and how to wedge a leg into the stool top. You’ll learn about some of the ancient traditions of green woodworking in a stunning outdoor setting.
