Whisky Tumbler Making Workshop

Event Details

As part of the Cabrach Trust Rural Skills and Wellbeing Programme we are working with Gedwood from Dufftown.  Ged runs workshops and courses in traditional woodcrafts.

Ged has been a Countryside ranger for Moray Council for 20 years. He studied forestry at Bangor University and not surprisingly he enjoys being outdoors with nature. Ged first got into green woodworking through renovating his house and garden. He built his own bespoke kitchen from wood and taught himself as he went. He enjoyed it so much he decided he’d like to teach others how to craft beautiful items from natural resources.

We all know whisky is matured in wood, so why not drink it from wood too, by making your very own unique hand carved wooden whisky tumbler! This course is suitable for all abilities. You will be shown how to select, cleave and carve out freshly felled logs, using a selection of hand tools and devices, carving knives, shaving horses and hand augers to create your very own whisky tumblers to take home.

This all day course is suitable for the complete beginner and will run from 10am to 4pm.

Tea and Coffee will be available throughout the day.  Please bring snacks and lunch with you and wear appropriate clothing for woodworking.

The workshop will be held at The Acorn Centre, Lower Cabrach, AB54 4EU.  Please arrive in time to make a start at 10am.

This workshop is part funded for the local community members (Cabrach, Glass, Rhynie, Lumsden or Dufftown) but all are welcome to attend.
