This course will comprise two main elements: Charcoal production and ‘cleaving and weaving’. You will learn how to stack a charcoal kiln, control a burn and make a saleable product. During the burn you will learn the fundamental skills that you will need to make coppice products.

The techniques of ‘cleaving and weaving’ are used in some form in almost every product that you will make from coppice material: cleft fencing, wattle hurdles, hedging, basketry, woven willow work, turnery and many more.
