Longbow Making
The construction of the longbow has changed little since the Middle Ages when the English and Welsh bowmen used their simple yet fearsome weapon to such devastating effect.
The course covers techniques required to shape an ash bow using simple tools (Axe, drawknife, spokeshave and scraper), persuading the wood to bend to a near semi-circle and plating a suitable bowstring. If all works well you will depart with your very own longbow.
The course tutor is David Cotterill a bow maker of over 25 years’ experience.

Medium Lamella Amber Vessel
BEAUTIFUL HANDBLOWN VESSEL WITH “TEXTURAL” PATTERN ON THE EXTERIOR. THERE ARE 4 COLOURS USED TO CREATE THE FINISHED PIECE WHICH ARE ALL APPLIED HOT, EITHER IN THE FORM OF A THIN LAYER OR A DRIZZLED TRAIL.
THESE PIECES ARE AN EXPLORATION INTO THE CONCEPT OF SANCTUARY, ESPECIALLY THE SANCTUARY I FEEL IN WOODLAND. THE PATTERNS ARE INSPIRED BY THE GILLS OF MUSHROOMS – LAMELLAE- WHICH I MIGHT FIND AS I EXPLORE THE NATURAL SPACE I AM IN.
THE COLOURS I USE TEND TO BE WHAT CALLS TO ME AT THE TIME, BUT I DO THINK THAT COLOUR CAN HAVE A POSITIVE AFFECT ON THE EMOTIONS THAT SOMEONE IS FEELING, SO I DO TEND TO TRY AND USE A BRIGHTER COLOUR PALETTE.
THIS PIECE IS A HIGHLY UNIQUE, ONE-OF-A-KIND PIECE OF ART GLASS.
LONG FELTED SCARF
A really cosy, long, slightly felted lamb’s wool scarf featuring the signature reversed colour proportions in each half.
