    £195.00

    *COURSE FULL – Click here to join waiting list*

    With Jim Stanes

    Create meaningful maps using historical Devonshire village, town, farm, field & estate maps as our inspiration. Maps in those days were not so much geographical but as a means of showing land use or a particular journey, for example how to get from A to B.

    For our maps I would like you to think of a place you might like to map, or a memorable journey; this could be from your house to the nearest town, or something more adventurous, such as a trip to the far reaches of this island of Britain.

    We do not have to be literal or exact. Important things are made big and less important things become smaller. Our map may not be immediately recognisable, but it will be completely understandable.

    Jim is well known for his beautiful cartography, art and design work in the film industry.

    SHAKER BOX MAKING :: Monday 18th & Tuesday 19th May 2026

    £195.00

    *COURSE FULL – Click here to join waiting list*

    With Andrew Spilsbury 

    Hand craft one, two or even three beautiful shaker boxes in Cherry and Maple using Shaker materials and methods. A relaxed and gentle process using veneers, the copper tacks that hold the bands and the wooden pegs that pin the bands to the lids and bases are imported from America. Each stage and process closely follows the traditions. The Shaker lifestyle required a practical flexible storage system for household and workshop use. They adapted an English design of box which was almost round, and changed the proportions to the now classic oval design. The distinctive swallow tails of the joint were designed for practical purposes and with the bevelled detail give a stylish hallmark to the finished box.

    £195 (plus materials dependant on size and number of boxes made - approx £10 per small box)
