Bird Feeder making workshop using the technique of steam bending
Description
A creative experience for adults wanting to experience the technique of steam bending and create a steam bent bird feeder to take away the same day. Don't be put off if you have never worked with wood before - this is not traditional wood work (it's much more fun!) This half day course will be spent creating your own garden bird feeder. We also work with metal origami to create the seed tray. You will choose one of the two feeder styles to make steam bend all the parts. Participants on our courses usually end the day amazed by not only the capabilities of the unique technique of steam bending but by the creation they are taking home with them. We hope you will join us and come away with a beautifully unique planter and an experience you will be talking about for years to come. Maximum of 7 places available per workshop. If you would like to book a private group course with us please contact to arrange an alternative date.
