Whats New

 
 

As with all things, time moves on here we are well into 2012 and the workshop and group is as strong as ever. New enquiries come in, mainly by email and training is organised, regulars pop in to solve problems or create new ones! and I look forward to those visits as it gives me the opportunity to help. We have been very blessed with influxes of wood and the latest is the offer of a storm felled Oak, reckoned to be over a hundred years old, we will try and retrieve as much of that as we can.. The year ahead looks interesting and I feel that we are well placed to take advantage of any opportunities that present to us.

   

 

CurrentNews

 
 

Every year Spinal Injuries Scotland is involved in a fund raising quiz and dinner, we have two pieces being auctioned off at this event, one is a laburnum Sculpture and the other a large Ash platter.  We are now selling items in the SCOTTISH SHOWCASE GALLERY in Kircudbright, so if you are in the area pop in and see our items. I dont think our shop will reopen untill around October.
