SUMMARY:Christmas Woodcarving Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Course Overview\nYou will learn the traditional craft of wood carving by hand which dates back thousands of years\, from when we first learned to make sharp tools. This one-day course is suitable for those starting out and also for carvers who would like to develop their skills further. \nFor beginners\, the day starts with the introduction of the tools and the techniques and materials used for hand carving wood. This will be followed by a small carving project to become familiar with the basic skills and then\, after lunch\, you will move on to a new project that involves creating a larger relief carving. \nThe day is run in a very flexible format and allows for more experienced carvers to develop their skills under the expert guidance of Pete\, your tutor. Green woodworking is an ancient craft long predating the coming of sawmills and kiln drying. This craft utilises the properties of unseasoned timber to create anything from a humble spoon to a grand timber framed house. Carved decoration is as old as the craft and examples can be seen in every church and historic building in England. \nThe course takes place in the purpose built oak framed craft barn at Stanwick Lakes which is managed by Rockingham Forest Trust as an environmental charity. \nParking is included in the ticket price. Tickets are £115 per person per one day workshop.

SUMMARY:Tinsmithing Festive Pierced Lantern - 2 Day Course

These traditional lanterns give a bright light when the door is open\, and cast decorative patterns onto the wall through the piercings. \nThe course will start with an introduction to the tools and methods used in traditional tin-smithing. On the first morning you will learn by practising cutting with tin snips\, using dividers\, and marking gauges. To introduce forming shapes in the tinplate you will make wall hanging candle sconce. During the first afternoon we will learn piercing and discuss designs. You will then make the pierced barrel and cone top for your lantern. At the end of day one you will understand the methods and tools used in traditional tin-smithing. \nDay two starts with finishing off any piercing and then cutting out all the other tinplate parts required to construction your own pierced lantern. You will form the shape of the lantern using traditional stake tools\, mallets and your hands. As you progress through the stages of constructing your lantern you will learn how to solder tinplate using traditional fluxes. \nAt all times during these processes your tutor will be available to help or advise. At the end of day two you will have your own tinplate pierced lantern with your own design of piercing and a hanging wall sconce. \nThe course takes place in a purpose-built oak framed craft barn at Stanwick Lakes\, a protected Nature Reserve and Wetland of International Importance covering 750 acres. \nYour tutor is John Wills\, one of the last three professional tinsmiths in Britain. In 2022\, as part of a Heritage Crafts Association project to rescue tinsmithing\, he trained under master tinsmith Karl Schmidt (Dakota Tinworks\, USA) and subsequently built a new tinman & brazier workshop to keep the craft alive. He is a Yeoman of the Worshipful Company of Tinplate Workers Alias Wire Workers of the City of London.
