Kitchen crafts is our new set of workshops that focuses on making what you use in the kitchen both beautiful and useful, following the sloyd traditional.
Participants in each workshop will make different sets of items that perform a different job in the kitchen. As you make each item, you'll learn different ways to use an axe, knife, and other traditional tools, building your skills as well as your kitchen equipment!
Build a spice rack and spice pots:
On this workshop, we'll take a traditional sloyd approach that has been for making buckets and cannisters and shrink it down to make spice pots. We'll also make a rack to keep your spice pots on. The workshop will teach you different techniques, from choosing the right wood, to hollowing out a branch, to decoration.
Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
