Axecraft

Axes were among the first metal tools made and have been used for a wide range of work, from timber felling, chopping firewood, and even for fine carving. On this one-day workshop, you'll learn how axes work, how to look after them, and how to use them safely! Whether you already have an axe and would like to to get more out of it, or you're wondering which axe would suit you best, this course is for you. Join us for a day of axe wielding fun and learn vital skills you can put to use in spoon carving, garden bench making and more! If you want to make the most of the weekend, sign up for our axe handles and sheaths workshop, too. Book both and get a 10% discount, using code Axes10!
