Stephen Ryan has 28 years experience in professional woodwork, but his passion for woodcraft started from an early age. This workshop has been born from his childhood memories of making things from wood.

During this 2 hour family workshop you will learn how to use traditional woodworking tools and equipment to make your own toy sword. This workshop is a great introduction to woodwork for adults and children alike. This workshop is best suited to children aged 9 years and over. Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who is prepared to get stuck in and work along with their child. This workshop is suitable for one or both parents or guardians to attend along with their child/children. Each participant will make their own toy sword. The ticket price is for one participant only. Parents or guardians must be 18 or over.

The new skills learnt during the workshop will empower your child/children and give them confidence, through allowing the opportunity to use woodworking tools to create craft pieces that are often out of their reach. During the day each participant will be using sharp handtools and some of the work can be a bit physical so please make sure each participant is keen for the challenge.

This course is suited to all levels including complete beginners.
