Steam-bending Wood Workshop: Indoor Wall Planter
Have you ever steam-bent wood before? If not, why not give this workshop a go and make your own beautiful Scandi-style wall planter.
Come and join Madeleine and Myles from LayerTree for a fun, relaxed 2-hour workshop steam bending wood, where each participant will steam bend their own indoor wooden wall planter.
This workshop is all about getting stuck in and helping you make your own stylish wooden planter. Attend on your own or come with a friend or family member and take away an exciting creation and an experience you will be talking about for years to come.
What Will I do?
- Steam bend your planter by using bespoke jigs to twist the wood
- Make a cork hanging tab with your choice of cork colour
- Sand and finish the planter with your choice of oil colour
- Assemble your planter ready to hang up when you arrive home
Who is this workshop suitable for?
- People aged 18 and over
- Beginners
- No prior experience or knowledge of working with wood necessary
- Adults who want to get really hands on with woodwork in a completely new way
About Layertree
LayerTree specialises in bringing a modern take to the ancient technique of steam bending with Madeleine and Myles having won multiple awards for their work, including the 2023 Small Business Award for Sustainability and Environment.
They want to be able to share their knowledge of this ecological technique with more people in Suffolk, so here is your opportunity to create a beautiful gift for a loved one (or to keep for yourself!).

It`s a perfect time of year to explore the grounds of Rougham Estate, including this incredible sculpture at Blackthorpe Barn is carved from a 400-year-old oak that once stood on the Rougham Estate.
It reflects the fascinating connections in our forests, where trees and plants support each other through networks of mycorrhizal fungi—a hidden, natural system that thrives when left undisturbed.
The oak itself has a special story. It grew near Rougham Hall, where Sir George William Agnew, a former estate owner, buried his beloved dog ‘Tummel’ and marked the spot with a gravestone. When the tree had to be felled for safety reasons, it was repurposed into this stunning sculpture to honour the history and significance of our woodlands.
The sculpture has been cut along its length to open it up like a book. Like a book, it tells a story—the incredible story of life below the ground in an ancient woodland.
Carved by the talented members of the Heaven Sculpture Yard community, Forest Floor was commissioned by Rougham Estate in 2021 to celebrate 30 years of Arts and Crafts events at Blackthorpe Barn.
Come and explore this beautiful sculpture, enjoy a woodland walk, and experience the rich history of Rougham Estate, where dogs are also welcome at Rougham Estate, but we kindly ask they remain on leads and keep their paws on the floor when visiting the Roots Cafe.
