THE BOWL GATHERING
The Bowl Gathering is a small green woodworking festival in celebration of the wooden bowl. We have a range of experienced instructors and demonstrators coming from around the UK and abroad.
The Bowl Gathering will be a chance to meet and share skills with some of the best bowl turners around, there will be daily workshops in turning on lathes, and carving bowls with adzes and gouges. There will also be forging courses and demonstrations, helping folk to gain the skills needed to make their own tools. Children are welcome, and there will be kids workshops throughout the weekend.
There will be cooking facilities on site in the form of bbqs and fires, and there will also be a food stall selling hot food for breakfast lunch and dinner.
Parking will be available on site, either along the track right next to the event, or in the overflow carpark down at the farm. Either way, you will be able to drive to the edge of the site and unload your stuff before parking for the weekend.
Lathes and tools will be available to use during courses, but please bring your own lathe or carving equipment to use in your own time if you have access to one. The teaching areas will be covered, but if you have a small shelter to cover your own lathe, please bring it along.
