Jon Warnes Woodland Workshops. Whirligigs and wind vanes. A willow bower for the Byre Theatre. May 5, 2015. I have just completed a willow bower that will be used as a prop at the Byre Theatre in St. Andrews. The design was based on bowers made for the “Snowdrops by Starlight” event at Cambo Estate where they were used as play houses for children. However this one was commissioned to hold a Pagan Idol for a play by Gluck on the 17 and 18th of June. Making Traditional English Wooden Eating Spoons.

Its the end of the willow cutting season

http://jonwarnes.co.uk/its-the-end-of-the-willow-cutting-season

Jon Warnes Woodland Workshops. Whirligigs and wind vanes. Its the end of the willow cutting season. March 20, 2015. I have just finished cutting the willow on my patch and it is a mix of some rather ugly but useful biomass willow and a really great basketry willow. A lovely lime green bark and very pliable. While I was cutting I found a birds nest from last year nestled in among the stems of an older coppice stool. Spooncarving at St Andrews Botanic Gardens. Some course dates at last!

Making a clay pizza oven at Parkgate Farm.

http://jonwarnes.co.uk/making-a-clay-pizza-oven-at-parkgate-farm

Jon Warnes Woodland Workshops. Whirligigs and wind vanes. Making a clay pizza oven at Parkgate Farm. July 25, 2015. In an ideal world it would be best to fire the oven until it is completely dry and then the next day fire again for cooking as the drying out process takes alot of time and heat. Firing underway, I forgot to say that we had a great time sculpting the kiln and building the chimney. If you would like a clay pizza / bread oven built or would like a course please get in touch.
