Welsh Stick & Windsor Chair Making

In recent years I have investigated examples of the traditional Welsh Stick Chair in greater depth, as well as continuing to develop my own acclaimed sculptural and contemporary interpretations.

This course highlights some of the Welsh Stick Chair’s pertinent features and allows you to make a copy, or your own adaptation. The better known English Windsor Chair (both styles share a solid seat) will be studied by comparison. Leave with your own dining chair with solid seat, and an ‘eye’ for the structure of these well engineered, comfortable chairs.

We offer eight camping pitches among the trees in the camping area for your own tent.

Our four greenwood shelters provide a private sleeping base for singles, couples or friends sharing. The shelters provide a pallet base and a good quality mattress inside. They can not be shut completely or locked.

For shelters and tents you will need to bring your own bedding such as sleeping bags, sheets, pillows, duvets, hot water bottles etc.depending on the time of year.

Also on site are a combined wash and shower room with running water and a well designed compost toilet along the track.

All cooking is wood fired; we have two open raised cooking fires which can be used to barbecue as well as general cooking and a wood fired clay oven for roasting and baking.

Evenings are often spent sitting around a camp fire under the stars.
