Part 1: Saturday 5 September: 10am-3pm & Part 2: Saturday 19 September: 10am-3pm (Rain dates: 12 & 26 September) SOLD OUT Make your own three-legged stool using green woodworking skills in this two-part workshop. This two-part stool-making workshop provides a rewarding opportunity to explore the craft of furniture making through the ancient ways of green woodworking. In the first session, shape the seat and three legs with tools like the draw-knife and travisher. After the legs dry, return to master the wedging technique that completes your stool’s structure. Set in a woodland, this workshop allows you to connect with natural materials while creating a functional, timeless piece to enjoy for years to come. *Stool making is not able to be purchased on behalf of someone else or as a gift. You must be the one participating in the workshop. Please note This two-day workshop takes place outdoors and is weather dependent. Please ensure you are also available for the scheduled rain dates. If the original dates are cancelled due to weather and you cannot attend the rain dates, you will not be eligible for a refund. All materials and tools will be provided Gloves – Please bring close-fitting garden grip type gloves as they help with grip and protection. Loose or baggy gloves can be a hazard. Footwear – Closed-in footwear is essential. Waterproof options are recommended, as you’ll be working on grass that may be wet or dewy. Food & Drink – Bring a water bottle to keep hydrated, and any food or snacks you may need over the course of the workshop. To observe tikanga, we ask that no food or hot drinks are consumed in the work space, a separate area will be available for breaks. No Smoking or Vaping – Smoking and vaping are not permitted in the area or anywhere on campus due to fire risk.

Please note that if a young person attends, two workshop places must be purchased (one for the young person and one for the accompanying adult). Cancellation Bookings are non-refundable.
