MAKE YOUR OWN SHRINK POT

Who doesn't love a new pot? In this workshop, we'll guide you through the process of making a wooden shrink pot of a type believed to have originated from the Viking age, and used then to store dry goods; you can use yours as a holder for kitchen utensils, pencils, or anything else you fancy!

Starting with a piece of green wood, you’ll hollow out the log using a drill, chisels and hook knife, and then fit a dry board to make the bottom of the pot. Over a few days, the branch will dry and shrink around the bottom piece.

No experience is necessary. All tools and materials will be provided. Please bring your own packed lunch.
