Woodland Heritage’s Woodland To Workshops course provides attendees with an overview of our wood culture: from the woodland to the workshop. Three days: one in the woodland, one in the workshop, one at the sawmill. 

The 2025 course was the the 30th Woodland to Workshop course run by Woodland Heritage. Attendance has increased to 24, allowing us to share knowledge with a wide group of students.

When Christian Gaze and I started Gaze Burvill 31 years ago, we had a vision of creating a beautiful collection of outdoor furniture using entirely oak grown in the UK. I was inspired by my one-year course at John Makepeace’s Hooke Park in Dorset where I had learnt about the necessity of adding value to British-grown woods to feed a virtuous cycle of growing and improving our woodlands.
