Make a Large Willow Bird Feeder

Enjoy a short course learning about the traditional craft of willow weaving. You'll be creating a beautiful and functional bird feeder to take home and hang in your garden. You'll be guided through the processes of creating a cone shape, weaving in a pattern and turning. No experience is required. This workshop is great for beginners who would like a taste of what willow weaving is like. Your tutor for this course is Suzy Williams of The Coppice Co. In 2018 Suzy won a place on the National Coppicing Apprenticeship Scheme, during which she learned vital skills and knowledge from seasoned coppice workers. Now she manages coppice woodlands alongside teaching and selling traditional woodland crafts. Our class sizes are small, so you'll have a chance to engage with the tutor while you work. Saturday 7th March, Friday 24th July and Saturday 14th November, 10am-12noon. Tea/coffee is provided.

Repair Café

Reduce, Re-use, Repair & Recycle “Last Saturday, at the United Church, 14 repairers examined 31 items brought in by the public, and fixed 21 of them. This ranged from Kenwood chefs, to a Saucepan, to a toaster, to a pair of jeans and garden shears as well as a mobile phone and laptop”. Every time a repair café fixes something, Surrey University estimates we save 24Kg of Co2, mostly through not having to buy more (imported) items. With the 48Kg. of items that were repaired last Saturday in Faringdon, over 1 tonne of Co2 emissions were saved. Their 2017 study of 13 repair cafes attempting 2,800 repairs showed there is very little wrong with half the items we might otherwise throw away. And yet, as a society, we throw away 155,000 tonnes per year of small electrical items alone, the second highest rate in the world. Whilst the UK has reduced home generated carbon emissions by more than 40% since 1990 (which is wonderful), the carbon we generate in other countries (by importing stuff manufactured overseas, and then throwing it away in order to buy more) has only reduced by 16%. We are looking for volunteer repairers, people who can ‘fix stuff’ – clothes, electrical appliances, garden machinery, clocks, furniture, woodwork, computers.

More about Bromsgrove

Oxfordshire, England

Bromsgrove sits right in the West Midlands with a character that feels like it stepped straight out of a proper British sitcom. The Hop Pole keeps things lively without needing to shout about it, and there's usually a market or two nearby if you fancy wandering off the beaten path. Pub quizzes and live music pop up through the week while local groups put on their own shows. Near Here pulls it all into one place so you're not stuck checking a dozen websites on a Sunday evening.
