Shrink pots, spoons and spatulas
 
Shrink pots are made using the traditional method of hollowing out the inside
of a freshly cut length of sapling wood to create a hollow tube. A base of
seasoned
wood forms the bottom of the pot. As the pot dries out it shrinks onto the base
making a tight seal - and a very pleasing pot.
Come and spend the weekend with us and make your own shrink pots, spoons
and spatulas, and find out just how enjoyable it is to make such useful resources.
Venue: Penton Woods
this includes lunch and evening meal on the first day with overnight accomodation
in the woods or a residence near by, and breakfast and lunch the following day
Cost:£200 per person
