GREEN WOODWORKING COURSE WITH PETER LANYON 2027

Sign up for this course and pay in two installments.

This is a truly comprehensive course on making green wood furniture, shared in the stunning surroundings of Cerdeira. There are two basic methods of construction used in green wood furniture making, and by the end of this course you will be conversant in both. You'll learn the technical basics of how to work with green wood; splitting and shaping with hand tools, then use these two different methodologies to make unique furniture by hand.

Over eight days, including a rest day immersed in nature, you'll learn the basics of green woodworking techniques by building two different pieces of furniture with freshly cut wood from the surrounding mountains. You will be encouraged to add unique shapes to your pieces by exploring steam bending. You'll also learn how to handle, sharpen, and care for your tools, to continue your creative journey at home

This course is perfect for beginners eager to work with wood in direct contact with nature, as well as for professionals and enthusiasts looking to deepen and refresh their skills.

At the end, you'll take home two new pieces of furniture, all made by hand.

This course will give you:

Two beautifully unique crafted stools, designed and made by you;
Practical and specialised knowledge of basic techniques for working with green wood;
Hands-On experience: build two stools using two different techniques (slab & stick and post & rung), plus steam bending.
