Weird and Wonderful Wood
15th & 16th May, 2010
Haughley Park, Wetherden, Nr Stowmarket, Suffolk, IP14 3JY.
For those who love beautiful wooden objects, are fascinated to see how they are made and would like to try making things for themselves, all in a truly stunning setting – both indoors and out – Weird and Wonderful Wood has become an annual experience not to be missed. Visitors will be able to meet over sixty artists and craftspeople, enjoy watching their practical skills and appreciate their work. There will be lots of demonstrations including carving and sculpture, really fine designer craftsmen made furniture, musical instrument making, displays by traditional fletchers and bowyers, chain saw carving, hurdle making, wood turning, pole lathe turning, sign writing, as well as coracle making and wagon displays. There will be a working mobile sawmill on site, so if you want to bring your own tree, it can be cut for you.
Workshops which everyone can take part in include activities such as archery, withy work, weaving, papermaking, pole lathe turning, scrap wood, tree bogletts, puppet making, jewellery making, den building, and Monkey-do tree climbing.
If you have not been before, you will find it a friendly, relaxed event with something for all the family. Take time to enjoy yourself at your own pace and enjoy a wealth of excellent locally sourced and produced food and drink (including a licensed bar) on offer when you want a break.
