Make a Chopping Board - A Workshop with Jo Weaden

Make a Chopping Board - A Workshop with Jo Weaden from Studio Arvor

Join MAKE Southwest member Jo Weaden for a workshop where you will make your very own chopping board - the perfect Christmas gift for a friend or family member! 

Using a series of selected hand tools you will be creating individual chopping boards from English hardwood offcuts, such as oak, ash and sycamore from the Studio Arvor workshop.

Through designing, shaping and oiling the chopping boards, Jo will help you to learn how best to use certain hand tools and build confidence in doing so. 

Woodworking environments can sometimes be seen as a bit daunting and male-dominated, Jo aims to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for people with little to no prior experience of woodworking.

No previous woodworking experience is necessary. 

All tools and materials will be provided for the day. 

On the day:

Please wear sturdy / enclosed footwear and appropriate clothing that isn't too baggy! 

On arrival, please make your way to the side gate of the Riverside Mill, through the courtyard and up the stone stairs on the side of the building.

Tea, coffee, and biscuits are provided for all workshop attendees. Lunch is not provided, so please bring a packed lunch. 

Our Café is now open should you wish to purchase lunch or other refreshments during the workshop day. 

Please be aware that you cannot use the Co-op car park for all day parking. The Methodist Church car park and Station Road car park usually have plenty of spaces. Click here for more information on our location and car parking for the day.
