Green woodworking courses

A great wet-weather alternative in the Cairngorms which is physical, creative, and relaxing. No prior experience is needed and all tools and material will be provided. Courses are outdoors in the woods, with shelter if wet; just bring your lunch, outdoor clothing and you will go home with a hand-carved creation of your very own.

Places on wood carving courses are limited so book in advance to avoid disappointment. Numbers are generally kept to a maximum of seven with the exception of group bookings so that I can dedicate more time on a one-to-one basis.

Your course will differ depending on the time of year! Any vouchers you may have are only valid in the relevant season.  They will be either a Summer or Winter course.  The reason for this is due to the sometimes very chilly weather we get in Winter in which we need to all work in my little cabin next to the log stove which only takes 3 people.  Also because of the cold it is very good for the soul to have warm home cooked food.  For these reasons the Winter courses are more expensive than Summer ones. Summer courses are all outside in the fresh air taking up to 7 people and lunch is not included so it is cheaper.  Winter Period runs from 1st November to 10th March.
