What's involved?

There is minimal demonstrating from us during this workshop. Our goal is to get you involved and steam bending within a very short time of arriving. You will experiment with steam bending under our supervision and learn about the possibilities and limitations of the Oak wood through your own creations.

The day will be spent experimenting and also creating your own stylish wooden tray. You will have the creative freedom to make the piece you are working on unique to you through the numerous options available on the day.

Prepare to be amazed each time the initially solid Oak curves and twists before your eyes.

We hope you will end the day amazed by not only the capabilities of the unique technique of steam bending but by the creations you are taking home with you.

All materials and equipment is supplied.
