This morning workshop will cover sharpening of woodwork chisels, gouges, plane irons and turning chisels in order to get the best results from your tools.

The aim is to reduce, as much as possible, the ‘skill’ element of sharpening, which can be intermittent, with simple hacks to sharpen woodworking tools reliably.

Bring along your own woodworking tools to sharpen if you have them, although there will be tools available on the day for demonstration.

Come and spend a day decorating and making lampshades. The tutor will demonstrate her own personal making techniques and show you how you can transfer these ideas to your own lanterns and lampshades to make them unique. There will be lots of ideas for inspiration, or bring along
suggestions of your own.

In a day we could achieve a 20cm drum lampshade and also a 10cm diameter lantern covered in fabric or paper and decorated to your own design. These will make lovely gifts or accessories for your own home.

A light lunch, refreshments and all materials are included, however do bring along any fabric, paper or decorations that you would like to include in your own design.

This workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as more experienced crafters.

Join us for a one day workshop tackling the essentials of garden design, as requested by our participants on previous gardening workshops!

You will cover:
> Brainstorming: what do you want out of your garden?
> Shapes and spaces
> Views and vistas
> Height & Structure
> Colour effects
> Some of the session will focus on designing a specific area of your garden

You will come away with an understanding of the essential principles of garden design and some ideas for an area of your garden to take away. (Please note: this workshop doesn’t look at plants, that’s for Garden Design part two). You don't need much gardening experience to enjoy the day, but please bring along photos of the garden you have in mind.

A light lunch and refreshments are included in the workshop fee.
