He has the skill and knowledge to allow the wood to retain its natural charm and beauty whilst performing a practical use.

We run courses in our wood making stools………

The courses include instruction and guidance, hand tools use and woodcraft.

We also have a shepherds hut for people who wish to have a taste of our lovely countryside walks, peace or join us on a course. Available with airbandb, the Duck House, Tisbury Row.

Wool from their rare, native flock of sheep is spun, knitted or woven, making entirely woollen dog leads which are strong and pleasant to hold. Also, unusual yet practical items for the home from draught excluders to a foot pouffe, which are stuffed with wool and lavender, to ‘loopy animal’ door stops and rugs. The wildlife haven they have developed around them inspires Jacqueline in the pottery. You will find lizards appearing along with frogs and beetles on many a garden
