Half-day Steam-bending Wood Workshop: Indoor Hanging Planter
Have you ever steam-bent wood before? If not, why not give this workshop a go and make your own Scandi-style hanging planter.
Come and join Madeleine and Myles from LayerTree for a fun, relaxed Steam Bending workshop, where each participant will steam bend an indoor hanging wooden planter. There is minimal demonstrating during this workshop; this is all about getting you making 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?
- Learn some of the skills for steam-bending wood
- Be involved in steam bending wood within a very short time of arriving
- Have creative freedom to make the piece you are working on unique to you through the numerous finishing options
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 for a decade and have won multiple awards for their work, including the 2023 Small Business Award for Sustainability and Environment. They hope to be able to share their knowledge of this ecological technique with more people in Suffolk and provide them with the opportunity to create a beautiful gift for a loved one (or themselves!).

When are the sunflowers opening??🌻
That’s just the question we are asking too!😁
The flowers are growing well and this sun/rain/sun weather is great for them, but they aren’t in flower yet.🙄
We’re keeping a very close eye and as soon as we know that there will be blooms for you to see, we’ll let you know the opening date. Currently we’re saying it’s “Early August”, but we can’t say more than that right now.
We can’t wait to open and to welcome you again, but for now we’re going to have to wait a little longer… 🙃
You can be sure we’ll be letting you know as soon as we know!👍😁🌻🌻
