Shaving yurt poles on a home made brace

Well actually as I write this its the first part of the 20 week organic gardening course. But we are booking for the next 3 day yurt making course at the moment, coming up on the 19 20 21st of March.

There is plenty of oppotunity for people to catch up with the 20 week course even if they miss the first one or 2 classes. Buts its 12.30-3.30pm at the Workhouse starting Thursday this week and then onwards until July. We will miss out the school holiday weeks, which is 3 times .

But yes otherwise it is Yurts next which is three days of green wood work, steam bending and making to keep your own yurt wheel, whilst working on the the other sections as well, picking experience and training in all the skills required to make your own versatile low impact dwelling. It is a very satisfactory and rewarding experience with no special experience required. This is one of our most popular short courses.

We are also offering a special 2 day introduction to green wood working on 17th and 18th with some coppice work and hopefully making some green wood working jigs and tools. There are a couple of places potentially available on this, which is a new course and is being designed and run for a specific customer, but we could offer a couple more places if required.

I am very excited already about the May PDC.. and we are taking bookings for that as well, there are still places but we have had a fair amount of interest.. We are planning practicals and visits for that at the moment and have got some very interesting people coming along so far.
