Pallet-To-Project: Building with Reclaimed Wood!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: WoRDs 'Pallet to Project' Workshops are a follow-on from our Introductory Session. Our Intro Sessions will get you started on your woodworking journey, so if you haven't yet attended one of these check our event page for the next session and sign up there!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Come along to the Woodshop of Recycled Delights' 'Pallet to Project' Workshop where you will learn how to turn a pallet into something beautiful for your house or garden!

We'll take you through:

• Where and how to find waste timber/ pallets to kickstart your projects
• Ethics and permission around taking waste timber
• Assessing quality and useability of timber
• Processing timber - tools and techniques, plus plenty of time to practice taking pallets apart
• Care and repair tips
• Design considerations when building with timber waste
• Using the right tools for the job
• Expanding your experience with different hand and power tools
• Get to make something!

Suitable for ages 16+.

PPE provided. Enclosed footwear must be worn.

Workshop starts at 12pm - please arrive on-time to begin!

We're passionate about supporting people to make whatever they want out of reclaimed material, and the possibilities are truly endless.

We take a co-learning approach, so whilst our facilitators are experienced, they are not experts. Together we can work out how to make or fix things using reclaimed materials.

The GED is an outdoor space, so bring weather-appropriate clothing!

There will also be a short lunch break at around 2pm so please bring some lunch with you. See you there!

Our Ticket System:

WoRD delivers accessible woodworking workshops to people traditionally excluded from carpentry spaces and those who face barriers to access.

We are committed to delivering accessible woodworking workshops to everyone, regardless of what they can afford.

To do this, we have sliding-scale tickets to make sure everyone can join in.

Where your ticket fee goes:

We pay all our team fair rates, and contribute to the venues that host us. Our workshops cost over £900 to run. Your ticket goes towards covering the costs of sessions and funding future workshops, meaning we can keep local people employed, rescue more timber from waste, and offer skill sharing to as many people as possible.

If you can afford to, please purchase a ticket according to our sliding scale:

£25 - a subsidised place, made possible through donations and grant funding

£55 - covers the cost of your attendance

£85 - covers the cost of your attendance, and part of someone else’s

FREE PLACE - We reserve a number of accessible places for people who may face a financial barrier to learning. If this is you, please book one of our 'deposit' places, and we'll make sure your £10 deposit is refunded to you on attendance.

Everyone is welcome to our sessions, no matter what they can afford. If even the refundable deposit is tricky, do get in touch, and we can waive it.
