Greenwood Days started in 1994 by me (Peter Wood) as a small woodland workshop where I could teach pole lathe turning. I’ve been lucky enough to travel the country demonstrating my craft at country shows and craft fairs where I met and became friends with a resurging number of skilled crafts people who were ‘rediscovering’ traditional craft. My little woodland workshop soon became a place where I could promote these crafts by inviting my friends to come and teach their crafts.
