Woodwose

What a great event!
For first off it was a great success, lots of people all keen and interested in green projects and products.
I demonstrated making some chair seat rails and rungs and was fascinated by the interest in the processes especially by the children, it was great to see all these kids all face painted up as cats/tigers/lions etc etc sitting there absorbed by what I was making. I particularly remember one blond blue eyed young man(6), straight out of "Oliver" casting academy saying "what are you doing Mister?" Classic, how I tried to keep a straight face.. (failed).
Anyway I met lots of great people one was my neighbours Andy Coates who was demonstrating bowl turning. he is an old hand at these events and was a great source of practical info. he is based in Beccles and his website is well worth a look at www.cobwebcrafts.co.uk.
