Discover the rewarding craft of wood carving in this engaging Bristol workshop where you can make a wooden spatula by hand.

Starting with a locally harvested log, you'll spend three hours picking up exciting woodworking techniques, guided by a local, friendly teacher. You'll uncover traditional green woodworking tools and have plenty of support through every step of the process of crafting your spatula.

All the necessary tools and materials will be provided. Plus, you'll get a steady supply of teas, coffees, and biscuits throughout the workshop to keep you energised. As a special touch, we invite you to bring a simple contribution to a shared vegetarian lunch. It's a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow woodcraft enthusiasts and enjoy a delicious meal together.

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.
