Woodcarving - A Practical Introduction to Relief Carving
Spend a day learning the basic skills used in relief woodcarving,
including laying out of the design, setting-in, carving technique, tool
selection and sharpening. This takes place in a relaxed and positive,
can-do atmosphere with close supervision and plenty of demonstration.
Participants will be guided through a simple project of their own design
with a view to complete in one day.
By the end of the day you will take home a complete, or near-complete
carving of your own, as well as an understanding of the tools and
techniques needed to continue your own woodcarving in the future.
This workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as those with
some woodcarving experience.
All materials, a light lunch and refreshment is included in the workshop
fee.

Make a Leather Cross Body Bag
On this one day course you will make a simple cross body bag. There are
two different sizes to choose from (21 x 16 x 6cm or slightly larger 23
x 19 x 7cm). You will get to choose your leather colour, buckles and
locks to make a bag that is individual to you. Many of the participants
on Sarah's previous workshop liked their bags so much that, rather than
give them as a gift, they ended up keeping them for themselves!
You will begin by learning the basic leather skills (or refreshing your
memory of them) by firstly learning and practicing how to hand stitch
leather. You will learn marking out, choosing appropriate leather, hand
saddle stitching and edge finishing.
Throughout the day you will do:
- Cutting out leather.
- Hand Saddle Stitching.
- Constructing a 3 dimensional bag.
- Cutting and making a strap.
- Riveting.
- Finish edges (burnishing).
- Attaching a buckle.
This workshop is suitable for beginners, but it is also great for people
with some experience.
All materials, light lunch and refreshments are included in the course
fee.

Woodworking Tool Sharpening
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.
