Wood carving for kids and parents/carers and adults alike!
Minety, Wiltshire.
£25 per person.
Age 8+
*Booking Notes - Please Read:*
Children must be supervised by an adult (no charge for adults who are just supervising), but I also encourage adults to join in; its a very therapeutic and bonding activity to do with your child and I find adults enjoy the activity just as much. If you would like to make your own mini-mushrooms alongside your child, please book yourself a place. This will ensure I have enough tools and wood for everyone who has paid to take part.
Saturday 11th April:
Family Session - 10am - 12:30pm
Adults Session - 1:30pm - 4pm

Details:
In this session, you will learn basic greenwood carving and practice basic knife techniques to whittle your own mini mushrooms to take home.
We will use sharp knives and a saw to whittle a piece of willow into the shape of mini mushrooms. We can then paint our mushrooms and decorate them to make each one unique. While waiting for the paint to dry, hunt out a marshmallow stick for campfire snacks. You'll then have the option of fixtures; either keyrings, ribbon to hang them, or just fix to a wooden board for a shelf ornament.
This morning course is aimed at age 8+ and parents/carers, and a seperate afternoon course for adults only.
The courses take place in the beautiful setting of Brandiers farm, Minety, Wiltshire. The workshops are run by me, Tamsin Quin. I have been teaching adults and children for over 10 years, and I’m fully insured, CRB checked, and first aid trained. The course will be held outside, so please wear appropriate clothing. In the case of severe weather conditions, we do have the option of using the barn, however, please note the barn has no heating, so please still dress warmly depending on the time of year.
All tools, safety gloves, and materials are provided. Maximum 8 people per course to ensure everyone has enough time and teach to finish their mini-mushrooms to take home.
