‘It’s inspiring to watch an experienced wood turner develop and form an exquisite object from a block of raw wood. Come along and find out how these skilled craftspeople use their wood turning tools to produce amazing wooden vases, bowls, chairs and stools and other unique carvings. And you can buy some to take home!’
The exhibition and demonstrations will be held on 11 – 19 September from 10:00 – 17:00 each day. Entry is free, and no booking is required. There is a charge for parking.
