Bear Makes is a design practice set up by architect and maker Anna Wynne.

Anna invites you to Drumsyniebeg Farm near Lochgoilhead, to come and carve a spoon out of local timber.

Whilst carving Anna will talk through the process of timber sourcing and selection and highlight the hand tools and techniques used to ensure that each spoon is beautiful, durable and designed for purpose. Participants will be encouraged to try spoon carving (tools and instruction provided), talk timber detailing and to explore the recently renovated Bear Makes studio.

Locally produced food provided.

Bookable, dicounted accommodation available for this event. Contact Anna@bearmakes.co.uk for accommodation pricing.

Ticketed. 8 places available.

Driving Directions:

NOTE: SatNav pointed at our post-code (PA24 8AN) will probably NOT take you to the right place. You will also not have any mobile/cellphone reception, so make sure you have these directions with you before you leave civilisation!

This map shows the correct route: http://map.dsbeg.com

From Glasgow, head north up the western shore of Loch Lomond on the A82. At Tarbet, stay on the road (which is now the A83), head through Arrochar around the end of Loch Long, and up to the Rest and Be Thankful pass (8.2 miles from Tarbet).

At the pass, take the small road signposted for Lochgoilhead (B828) on the left. Descend the steep and windy road into the glen. After 3.3 miles, when you reach the T-junction at the bottom of the valley, you’re almost there.

At the T-junction, turn right for Dunoon onto the B839, and after 200m you'll see our bins on the left at the entrance to our track. Turn left onto the track and hold onto your hat. Drive down the forest track for 250m, then take the left fork off. Carry on another 700m down the track to the farmhouse.

You made it!
