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
