Highgrove Crafts is part of the King's Foundation. The King’s Foundation provides holistic solutions to challenges facing the world today. We champion a sustainable approach to how we live our lives and build our communities, we run a diverse programme of education and training for all ages and backgrounds, and we regenerate and care for places where communities thrive and that visitors enjoy.
The work of The Prince’s Foundation is inspired by His Majesty The King Charles III's philosophy of harmony: that by understanding the balance, the order and the relationships between ourselves and the natural world we can create a more sustainable future. For more than 40 years His Majesty has been at the forefront of championing sustainability. During the last decade the impact of natural resource depletion, climate change and rapid urbanisation has become evident and widely understood. The work of The King’s Foundation is inspired by the belief that only by taking a holistic view can we create a sustainable future to meet the needs of our world.

An Introduction to Chair Caning with Brian Crossley
"Superbly well organised. Spaceous, well-equiped workshops. Happy & relaxed while informative, inspiring & well-paced. We all achieved a huge amount within the time. 3 days is an ideal length. Lisi is an excellent, friendly & very proficient teacher. I loved it. "
"Very enjoyable course, Sarah was a great tutor, relaxed and clearly very knowledgeable. I was able to make something that came out a lot better than I expected.
The tour around the gardens was a much appreciated bonus. "
"Loved this course, equally challenging and rewarding, three days of learning a new skill with a great teacher and a group of good people in a lovely setting and comfortable, well equipped workshop. Sarah is a very good supportive teacher with a great teaching style that made the days very relaxed and enjoyable, plenty of good humour for a good group dynamic with a very nice carving to take home at the end.. Many Thanks"
"An excellent mix of instruction inspiration and execution.
The technique was explained and demonstrated really well, and plenty of time allowed for experimentation and trialling prior to a contemplation of design ideas for a piece to take away.
The whole establishment was really welcoming and the facilities were excellent.
Also looking to do another course in another discipline."
