NEW Green Wood Chair Making Course

Join us for a truly hands-on, back-to-nature experience with our 3-day Green-Wood Hazel Chair Making course at Axe & Paddle in Gwynfe.

Working in our workshop – nestled in the Beacons National Park in Carmarthenshire, you will learn traditional woodcraft techniques — from selecting and harvesting hazel through to shaping, shaving, and finishing a beautiful, functional chair by hand. Under expert guidance, tools in hand, you’ll discover the timeless satisfaction of creating something real and lasting with nothing but wood, skill, and patience.

This course is suitable for all skill levels — whether you are a complete beginner or a curious maker — and offers a peaceful, restorative escape into traditional craftsmanship. By the end of the three days, you’ll have a handcrafted chair to take home, and a new set of skills to connect you to centuries-old woodland traditions.

Perfect as a unique and memorable gift too, our Course Voucher lets the lucky recipient book at a future date (beginning March 2026) — giving them the freedom to choose when to immerse themselves in the calm, creative world of green-wood working.

Buy now, gift now, craft later — a woodland adventure waiting under the tree.
