A Simple Guide to...

Ever fancied trying your hand at a new craft or skill?  Here is your chance.  The Box Moor Trust is organising a series of workshops on a wide variety of topics relating to the land.

Each session is on a Saturday, times from 10am until 4pm unless otherwise stated.  Numbers are strictly limited, so it is advisable to book early.  In order to cover costs we ask for £30 per workshop, with a further nominal charge being made for materials where you will be taking away a finished item.

These sessions are taster sessions only.  Your tutor can let you know about further opportunities to take the topic further.

26th May - Weaving - join Maggie Stearn, a local weaver, to learn about setting up and using a heddle loom.  There is a charge of £7 for the woven item.
30th June - Driving horses - Join George Tite for a chance to learn the basics of long reining.
28th July - Pottery - run by the Dacorum and Chiltern Potters Guild - a chance to work with clay and use our on-site kiln.  There is a charge of £5 for the finished item.
