!!! COURSES WOODWORKING AND GARDENING !!!

 ... LATEST PCF COURSE NEWS ...

At 9th September 2021

It's brilliant to have had so much interest in the first courses we've been running since lockdown, three Basic Woodwork Level Ones have sold out, and been a big hit with our participants, well done to you all :-) There's a link below to another one in about two weeks' time.

Our first Level Two course, planing and sharpening etc, went down very well, and there's a link to another one below.

No takers for the Gardening Beginners course so I think I'll change the format for that, 

COMING UP NEXT...

BASIC WOODWORK LEVEL ONE - 21st SEPTEMBER 2021

Next chance to do this course for complete beginners, women and men welcome, over 18's please, just four places on these, so plenty of personal attention, also we will try to explain and demonstrate everything in a way that suits your style of learning.  

BASIC WOODWORK LEVEL TWO  - 28th SEPTEMBER 2021 

This course carries on from level one, starts with planing, one of the most useful things you could ever learn, goes on to sharpening, cutting a simple joint and more. With a small group like this there's time to talk about specific projects you have in mind.

MORE WOODWORK - I'm thinking about how best to help people practice and progress. One idea is to have project days where people can work on various different things, combining reclaimed, salvaged and green wood, simple things like a stool, plant stand, small table, maybe a work bench, bookshelf...  course should be hatching out soon :-)

SIMILARLY WITH GARDENING AND ECO STUFF GENERALLY...

There is so much to show people at Perth Community Farm, practical gardening skills, orchard and woodland care, and also the thinking and patterns that will help us to live in a sustainable way with (rather than on) our planet. I'd be delighted to put on some kind of Eco Day with an overview of Permaculture, look round the farm, time for people to talk about their hopes and fears for the future. We are not powerless as individuals, we can make a huge difference in all sorts of ways - and what is a government anyway but a collection of individuals? why shouldn't government individuals take personal responsibility for climate emergency?
