We had amazing first day yesterday on our two day pole-lathe bowl turning workshop, taught by @owenthomaswoodcraft. By the end of the day each participant had their first bowl, and while we all worked hard, there is no doubt the real credit goes to Owen. His deep knowledge, years of experience, and always patient teaching method was a real pleasure to experience. Might even get him back again😉🤣 #polelathe #handmade #greenwoodworking #bowlturning

The August meeting of Paradise Bookclub, usually focused on the natural world, looks like it will be lively, political, (and possibly revolutionary) as we discuss “The Book of Trespass” by @nickhayesillustration #naturewriting #nature #thebookoftrespass #trespass #righttoroam
