The designer Peter Lanyon is the instructor for the Green Woodworking Workshop, taking place in the Aldeia do Xisto of Cerdeira from May 4th to 6th.

The Green Woodworking Workshop is two-day introduction to the technique of green woodworking by making your own stool - simple in design and emphasising the beauty of our raw material from the forest surrounding Cerdeira Home For Creativity.

Tutored by Peter Lanyon, you will learn how to handle the different hand tools to prepare the various pieces that make up your work and at the end join them together and take home a new piece of furniture.

This year, we will have a third day, specially dedicated to learn how to sharpen and maintain your tools. Well sharpende and cared tool are fundamental to the success of our work. If you have some good old chisels at home you want to bring back to life, just bring them with you!
