Transform a simple stump into a magnificent bowl of your own creation in this Bristol wood carving workshop.

Join us for a full-day class where you'll unleash your creativity and carve a unique bowl from scratch. Armed with an axe, drawknife, and a selection of gouges, you'll learn the art of shaping wood into functional and beautiful vessels.

If you're on the hunt for fun things to do in Bristol to expand your current carving experience, this course is the perfect next step. It takes a bit more physical exertion than carving a spoon and can open you up to new skills. We also welcome complete beginners!

By participating in this workshop, you'll not only craft and take home a remarkable bowl but also contribute to community outreach initiatives benefiting disadvantaged youth and refugees/asylum seekers. Bristol Tree Craft aim to bring the wonders of green woodworking to all, and a portion of your ticket cost directly supports these meaningful projects.

As part of the experience, we invite you to bring a simple contribution to a shared vegetarian lunch as a special way to bond with fellow woodworkers in your class.

Bristol Tree Craft C.I.C brings people living in Bristol together to learn the traditional heritage craft of green woodworking. Greenwood working uses unseasoned "green" wood, that has been freshly felled, this is then shaped with hand tools into finished items.

Woodwork brings a broad array of benefits: a chance to escape busy city life, connect with natural materials and enjoy the simple wellbeing that comes from making something with our hands. Our sessions offer a platform for people to get to know each other, deepen relationships and share the highs and lows of learning a new creative process together. Sharing craft is a way of creating unity, fostering community resilience, and most importantly of all, having fun!

Our main focus is collaborating with long-standing local community organisations to reach specific groups who are likely to be experiencing marginalisation from society. Our free-to-access programs offer a safe, nurturing space for these groups to learn tangible skills, grow in confidence and feel an increased sense of ownership over local green spaces. We encourage participants to express themselves through creative, physical means, enjoy each other's company and feel independent in their work. The public classes directly help fund our community outreach work.
