Update:

Unfortunately James is unable to take the course so Helen Clarke and Jon Scragg have stepped in to deliver it.

Details:

Reprieved from the first year of courses this weekend of rustic chair making with James Mitchell was very popular and it is so satisfying to make such a useful and individual piece of furniture whether it is destined for pride of place in your living room or placed strategically to rest and enjoy your garden.

If you have little experience of green woodworking or you are an improver with some ideas you want to realise in wood James will guide you through the steps to make your very own creation.

Materials: £10 Materials cost to be brought to the course and paid to the trainer on the day.

Meal breaks: Please bring a packed lunch and a flask. Tea and Coffee will be available for breaks.
