In providing a variety of demonstrations Martin hopes to promote an appreciation of our shared rural craft heritage.  Questions from visitors about the crafts are encouraged.  The demonstrations offered would be ideal for craft fairs, rural shows and fetes.

Event organisers can download further information HERE, or contact Martin if they have further queries.

SPOON CARVING DEMONSTRATION

The demonstration shows how a log is turned into a wooden spoon. The timber, tools and techniques used are described.

This demonstration is ideal for events where space is limited.

BOWL CARVING DEMONSTRATION

Using only traditional hand tools and techniques a log is first split and then carved to produce a bowl or platter.

POLE LATHE DEMONSTRATION

Visitors have the chance to "have a go" on a traditional pole lathe and experience the craft of the bodgers who made the legs and spindles for Windsor chairs.

• All  demonstrations are continuous activities and not suitable as programmed events.
  
  
• The spoon carving demonstration may be combined with either the bowl carving OR pole lathe demonstrations at no extra cost.
