Greenwood carving workshop with Tim Graham

This lesson is designed for everyone to experience and enjoy the process of carving freshly cut wood with no big axe work, no chainsaws or heavy lifting.

Over three hours you will make three projects; a tent peg, a butter knife and a simple spoon as well as learning about how to recognise useful timber, how to access and collect it, and safety when using tools.

Tim is a greenwood worker and forest school leader with over a decade’s worth of experience creating functional and beautiful forms as well as teaching and leading educational experiences outdoors.
All tools and timber provided. Workshop will run partly inside and partly outdoors – please dress accordingly.

What to bring: Sensible clothes and footwear are essential, keep in mind that you will be making cuts towards your body and bracing the wood against yourself so a stout shirt, coat or apron is recommended.

Safety will be paramount during the session as each knife cut, when executed properly, is designed only to cut the timber. If you would like to bring extra gloves to protect your hands then you are welcome to.
