Hi everyone

Our next guest tutor coming to the HCF workshop is pole lathe turner and green woodworker Ali Asadi.

The course is a 1 day session and will start at 9AM. We will keep going until we're finished - generally around 4-4.30 with a break for lunch.

This will be a shared lunch that you are welcome to join. We will provide a simple vegetarian/vegan lunch and you can bring something to share if you can but with no obligation.(please label anything with any allergens).

Things to remember

We'll be working outdoors in all weather (under a tarp if it rains) so dress suitably.

Sensible footwear, no sandals, open toe shoes or bare feet. A thick sole will help keep your feet warm in winter.

Please bring reading glasses for detailed work if you wear them.

There…

Great fun and such knowledgeable instructors! I had never used pole lathe before and finished day with a plate to take home! Great balance of support and encouragement to play and try out tools and techniques. And all in such a lovely and beautiful space!

London Green Wood

London Green Wood is cooperative of woodworkers practising rural crafts in the city. Based at Hackney City Farm, we work with green wood straight from the log and hand tools. All the wood we use has been felled locally.

We have been running events and teaching courses since 2011. We promise a beautiful setting, friendly people, the satisfaction of learning new skills and a fire when it gets chilly. We run courses for adults and for families. We offer low income and unwaged concessions on many of our courses.
