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!).
