Stickmaking Courses

Come and join us in our 15th year of running our popular 'One-day Stickmaking Course' in the workshop situated in Dentdale in the scenic Yorkshire Dales. Could this be the ideal gift for a birthday or Christmas present?
To ensure individual attention, we only take six people on each course. During the day you will make and complete a wooden headed crook. No experience is necessary. We start at 8.45 am and finish at 4.30pm. The fee of £85 includes all materials, a buffet lunch plus tea and coffee breaks. This is a hands-on day so we recommend that you wear old clothes. We promise you an interesting and stress-free day - with the added bonus of taking your own crook home with you! Stickmaking accessories will be available to buy on the day with a discount of 10%. The courses fill quickly and are very popular with many people returning 2 or 3 times. All bookings will be acknowledged. There is no deposit required just pay on the day.

Numerous other accessories are in stock, eg small riffle and needle files,
staghorn whistles, heavy brass stick collars, wrist loops for sticks,
buffalo and bone spacers, our epoxy glues, etc. etc.
