Green wood working

Tim Gatfield, a good friend of Magdalen, runs our Clay Oven building courses so we have him to thank for our wonderful pizzas and breads made in our cob oven he built last year. Tim's main time is spent running his green wood working school in a wood near bath. What a way to learn. We at Magdalen know a special place when we see it, and Cherry wood certainly has that extra special touch. Well worth a physical as well as a virtual visit.
