Celi has been working with green wood since 2010, they were self taught and then took on an apprenticeship in teaching the craft, woodland management and green building in 2017. Since then they have worked in forestry, making and selling their craft, and teaching. As well as setting up the project at Golden Hill Wood.
Golden Hill Wood is run by myself, Celi and my partner, Reyna. It is a woman owned project and we endevour to use female and minority gender teachers wherever possible. We also engage the public through volunteer days and projects to aid the management of the land and help people to develop skills.

Coffee Table/Bench Making in the Woods - Beginner Green Woodworking course
"Fantastic weekend learning how to make a stool with Celi who was very knowledgeable about green woodworking and very attentive, making sure everyone went home with a product they could be proud of. A delicious lunch was provided each day and a great spot for camping overnight. Would love to come back for another course "
"I really enjoyed this 2 day course and am surprised and delighted with the end result, a lot of hard work and I left with something I'm proud of.
Celi was very attentive and made everyone feel welcome and excellently kept the balance of enabling everyone to take their time to improve their skills and provide help when needed to keep things moving along.
Additionally, we had access to hot drinks throughout the day despite being in the woods and a couple of great lunches catered by Reyna.
I'm looking forward to coming back next year for the Pole Lathe course."
"Currently sat admiring my coffee table/bench. It was made in the beautiful space of Golden Hill Wood. A woodland in Wales made all the more welcoming through the teacher of the course Celi. Celi had a very special way of sharing knowledge and her skills in Green Woodworking, putting every one at ease and creating a group who mutually supported one another in there own project.
I would do another course with Celi at the drop of a hat. Get yourself to Golden Hill and be immersed in the beautiful woodland and the wonders of Greenwood work."
