This week we hosted some architecture students fro This week we hosted some architecture students from @oxfordbrookes for a two day green wood intro. They did some turning, making legs for a future furniture project, and some ‘spoon’ carving making spoony components for a construction which will be put together back at their studio. They were super quick learners and got to grips with green wood quickly. Hopefully it may influence some of their thinking in the future. And we had fun! . . . #greenwoodworking #architecturestudent #architecturestudents #ribapart2 #ribadiploma #oxfordbrookesuniversity #oxfordbrookesarchitecture #whittling #understandingmaterials #londongreenwood

We were so lucky to have hosted the talented @yoav We were so lucky to have hosted the talented @yoav.kafets at our workshop a few weeks back. . Yoav taught a one day improver’s bowl turning course aimed at people with previous experience on the pole lathe. He also taught a two day course, giving participants the opportunity to dive deeper into pole lathe techniques as well as turning at least one bowl and one cup! . All students came away with a greater appreciation of the craft as well as a thirst to continue creating stunningly beautiful and ergonomic every-day objects. . Here are some photo highlights from the courses he taught that weekend. . If pole lathe turning is something you want to explore, you can sign up to a one day course with one of London Green Wood’s experienced turners.
