Green Woodworking Experience at the Haddenham Arts Centre - April 2024

Updated: Jan 21

Although we prefer to hold our green woodworking sessions outside, the weather in April is usually less than reliable, so the Haddenham Arts Centre accommodated our green woodworking workshop in the large indoor classroom which is the perfect size.

We had a lovely bunch of students who were all able to try their hand at the various processes and techniques used - including the proper use of an axe, how to trim using a draw knife and shave horse, and ultimately the art of turning on the pole lathe.

The group were greeted with a welcoming croissant, lovely lunch and afternoon cakes & treats provided by the Arts Centre tearoom. 



 

REVIEWS


"Thanks for a really great day.  The tuition and hosting was excellent, the equipment very good, and the venue and food was really good as well. Experience exactly as advertised."

“Just attended the Green Woodworking Session provided by Blended Monkey. If you like any form of crafting, carving or woodwork, this will be fun for you. Everything was provided, including lovely food and drinks. Instruction is simple to follow and can take anyone from no experience to a point where they can make on the day a piece of wood from a log to a useful and beautiful carved item. I made dibbers for planting seeds/bulbs, but there are many options and examples provided for inspiration.

 

Simon and Louise are excellent teachers and lovely people who will make the day fun and informative. Having attended a one to one lathe course with Simon before, I had a little more knowledge than the others in the group, but really I could have never done woodwork before and still it would have been a great day.”
