Stephen Ryan has 23 years of 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 one-day workshop, yourself and your child will work together to make a rustic stool that can be used as a piece of furniture in your home, but most importantly the new skills learnt during the workshop will empower your child and give them confidence, through allowing them the opportunity to use woodworking tools to create craft pieces that are often out of their reach. This workshop is best suited to children aged between 11 and 15 and must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, who is prepared to get stuck in and work along with their child to create a family heirloom that can be enjoyed for generations to come.
During the day yourself and your child will both be using sharp handtools and some of the work can be a bit physical so please make sure your child is keen for the challenge. Yourself and your child are both included in the price of one ticket.
No experience necessary. Due to the use of sharp tools during the class, sturdy boots or shoes should be worn. Workshop times are 10.00am to 5.00pm.
