Tutor

Gudrun Leitz is a founder member and joint owner of CLISSETT WOOD and has been offering courses from its purpose built workship since 1995. With its ten acres of mature ash and oak with hazel and sweet chestnut coppice, Clissett Wood is a place of great beauty and tranquillity.

Course programme

After an introduction to green woodworking you can then choose to concentrate on making a high or low stool, a ladderback chair with bark seat, or a simple Windsor chair with solid elm seat. Alternatively you could make a pole lathe and shavehorse for your home workshop, or tackle several smaller projects of your choice.

There is a materials charge for seating.

Start Time: 2:00 pm

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.

Additional information

Payment options: Deposit £100 Camping Pitches at £3.00 per night, basic greenwood shelters for those without tents £5.00.
