Greenwood Days have been running woodland craft courses since 1998, from a beautiful 90 acre wood in the National Forest on the Leicestershire/Derbyshire border. We offer day, weekend, midweek and week-long courses ranging from traditional Windsor chair-making to contemporary willow sculpture, longbow making to spoon carving. Our tutors are all highly skilled professional craft workers who share our passion for preserving, promoting and passing on these crafts and techniques.
"Fantastic course, Ali and David were fantastic help, we all went home with a birch bowl and experience of using a pole lathe. Peter wood of greenwood days looked after us we had a nice lunch and plenty of liquid refreshments which were appreciated given the heat of the day. Highly recommended "
Greenwood Days responded:
"Nice to meet the two of you and so glad you both had a great time. I hope to see you again."
"What a lovely day outdoors under the forest shelter off grid getting creative. Excellent tutor, beautiful location, delicious lunch, lots of laughs. We learned loads as total beginners, came away with fab willow hurdles and hope to return for more classes. Alistair and Peter are so lovely, welcoming and the place has such a great vibe. Highly recommend."
"Lovely location, a warm welcome, friendly expert tuition, delicious lunch and plenty of tea and biscuits throughout the day, and a decent hazel hurdle to take home with me. An all round great experience. Thank you"
"Thank you for a lovely hurdle making day Alistair. The instructions were clear, the resources were plentiful, the setting was fabulous and I met some really interesting and funny people. Oh and a good supply of hot drinks and soup :)"
