SUMMARY:Tinsmithing workshops
DESCRIPTION:Course Overview\nThis critically endangered heritage craft is being kept alive at Stanwick Lakes — and you can be a part of it! Learn the skills of tin-smithing from one of the last tinsmiths in the country. \nTinplate – a thin sheet of iron or steel coated with pure tin – is strong\, lightweight\, durable\, food safe and resembles silver. During the 18th and 19th centuries it was ubiquitous in home\, work and military life\, with every town having its own “Tinman & Brazier.” Tin-smithing is now classified by the Heritage Crafts Association as critically endangered and at serious risk of no longer being practised in the UK. \nDuring the day you’ll learn the core processes – measuring\, cutting with tin-snips\, burring\, forming\, wiring\, seaming and soldering — and make a wall hanging candle sconce plus your choice of a pastry cutter\, a candle holder\, or cup to take home. No experience is needed; the course is suitable for adults of any ability\, limited to six participants. Teenagers 16+ are welcome with adult supervision. \nThe course takes place in a purpose-built oak framed craft barn at Stanwick Lakes\, a protected Nature Reserve and Wetland of International Importance covering 750 acres. \nParking is included in the ticket price. Tickets are £120 per person per one day workshop. Three workshops are available to book – Sunday 26th July\, Saturday 29th August or Sunday 30th August. \nBook now \nAbout the Tutor\nYour tutor is John Wills\, one of the last three professional tinsmiths in Britain. In 2022\, as part of a Heritage Crafts Association project to rescue tinsmithing\, he trained under master tinsmith Karl Schmidt (Dakota Tinworks\, USA) and subsequently built a new tinman & brazier workshop to keep the craft alive. He is a Yeoman of the Worshipful Company of Tinplate Workers Alias Wire Workers of the City of London. \nCancellation policy: Cancellation and a full refund can be obtained up to 4 weeks before the course starts.

SUMMARY:Willow Weaving Workshop: Large Flower Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Course Overview\nLearn core basketry skills while creating an impressive large willow flower – perfect for walls\, fences\, patios\, or interior displays. \nThis course is especially valuable for beginners who want to build confidence before moving into basketry. \nYou’ll start by making a traditional slath\, just as you would when beginning a basket. Into this\, you’ll weave the flower’s centre\, gaining essential understanding of space\, control\, and tension. \nFrom there\, you’ll add petals in a style of your choice\, braid a strong stem\, and use a figure-of-eight weave to form expressive leaves. \nThis workshop brings together multiple foundation weaving techniques in one rewarding project – an excellent step towards more advanced work. \nThe course takes place in the Heritage Craft Barn at Stanwick Lakes\, a 750-acre protected Nature Reserve and Wetland of International Importance managed by Rockingham Forest Trust as an environmental charity. \nBook now \nCancellation policy: Cancellation and a full refund can be obtained up to 4 weeks before the course starts.
