Title: Oak swill basket making
Post by: wren on January 12, 2013, 08:33:30 pm
Oak swill basket making, three day course with tutor Owen Jones at Acton Scott Historic Working Farm in Shropshire. During this three-day course you will cover all aspects of swill making. Starting with oak and hazel in the round, cleaving, boiling and riving the oak, dressing and steam-bending the hazel rim or bool; and finally you will weave and complete your own swill. The course is quite intensive but no previous experience in either basketry or green wood working is required        [/size]http://tinyurl.com/badlsq6 , [/size]call 01694 781540 or DM @actonscottmuse
