Alien spoons? Well, only because it is a memorable name and some of the knife grasps feel a bit alien to start with. You will soon get to grips with them and the focus of this workshop is learning to use safe and efficient carving techniques with hand tools - the axe, straight knives and hook knives... maybe also a drawknife on a shave horse. By following good technique you will avoid injuries and with regular stretching this will help you to look after your body as well as the tools. You should leave with the knowledge and confidence to carve safely at home. The tools are relatively cheap and easy to use in a small space. You will have access to a range of tools, but primarily use the Mora wood carving knives (106/120/164s) and be shown traditional designs for optimising strength and utility. Using these traditional tools you will make a spoon from local and sustainable fresh cut green wood - starting with a log and leaving with a spoon. From the initial splitting of the log with a froe or axe, trimming this down with an axe, and on to carving finer details and decorations with knives. Additional skills in building a shave horse and other green wood working can also be taught. This course is run from close to central Edinburgh and is accessible by public transport.  Depending on the weather it can be inside or outdoors in the wildlife garden. Courses can also be arranged to suit your availability! Please get in touch to discuss your requirements, discounts are available for small groups or multiple days. Course numbers are usually limited to five or less; individual training courses can also be arranged. What's included in the price? Tea, coffee, light lunch of bread and soup and snacks - All vegan Professional training in the use of a range of traditional tools. Advice on tool care and sharpening. Fresh cut (green) wood for carving. Some tools available for sale at competitive rates. Summary of course information emailed to you after the workshop.

Tarot Card Reading Course Saturday 12th October 2024 10.00 am to 4.30 pm Tarot cards are the original way to make a reading. Often feared because of the Death card and the dramatic pictures for The Tower. Whereas in reality the Death card simply means New Beginnings and the Tower shows a dramatic change is coming.  The Minor Arcana 56 cards, comprising four suits. Learning to understand the meaning of each suit and the corresponding numbers. Looking at the pictures for clues to really fix the cards into your memory. Exploring using your intuition and knowledge to bring about a greater understanding. You can use effective spreads with just these cards for readings. The Major Arcana 22 cards embellish the story. Each card builds a picture to add with the Minor Arcana cards. Beginning with 0 - The Fool, each card trying to show how the fool is taught about life, past and future. I have always felt the tarot cards give a more exact reading. Being blunt and to the point, leaving no doubt of the meaning. However, always being aware that free will and interpretation are strong, knowing that it is never good to live your life by the cards, using their story for building awareness to situations of the past and where you can, hopefully, move into a different direction for your present and future. You will be shown how to make simple spreads with only three cards, building to a full ten card reading. With practice and patience, you will be able to offer guidance for yourself and friends and family. I also offer guidance on how to give readings for others, reminding of the importance to remain impartial and never offer your own advice within the session. People will remember the reading, good and bad parts and even knowing they should never base their life around the reading, they will! It is a good addition to being a complementary practitioner as the cards can offer guidance as a visual tool for clients. Being a clairvoyant tarot reader does come in handy. I feel it is essential to own a set of cards for this workshop, I will focus on the Rider Waite pack of cards. The Radiant set are particularly good for interpretation as the pictures are somewhat updated from the original pack and are easier to get the meaning embedded into your memory. Set of cards is £17.00 Please say if you would like a pack of cards when booking your place. If you have other sets you would like to bring along, that is great. We can compare them to help with the interpretation. There will be some reading for you to complete before the course to ensure learning on the day runs smoothly. Cost for the day workshop is £80. Deposit of £30 required on booking.  Balance to be paid 48 hours before the course date.  £17.00 for the set of cards to use during the workshop. A non-refundable deposit is required to secure your place for all courses. Personal tuition: If you feel you would like to learn the Tarot on a private basis this will suit you. Private 1 to 1 teaching of Tarot. 5 hours for £152 Deposit of £52 on booking If you feel you would benefit from this tuition you can book your own date.

‘Both of these wines are [Grape X] from [Country Y] – so why is this one twice the price?’ It’s a question that we’re often asked, so for summer 2024, we’re putting on a trio of tastings to show what happens when you fork out some extra money. Each week, we’ll try four pairs of popular styles of wine, one bottle of we’ve bought for under £10, while the other has cost at least twice as much. And we’ll be trying each pair ‘blind’ – you’ll know what the wines are, but not which is in Glass 1 and which in Glass 2… We’ll have a chat about what it is in each case that makes one of the wines more expensive, then we’ll see which you prefer before revealing which is which. Do you have expensive tastes, or are you more at home with the cheap and cheerful? It’s a great opportunity to find out – and to taste some lovely wines!  The line-up for each week will be: Week 1 WHITES: New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, Italian Pinot Grigio REDS: Australian Shiraz, Red Bordeaux Week 2 WHITES: Loire Sauvignon Blanc, South African Chenin Blanc REDS: Rioja, New Zealand Pinot Noir Week 3 WHITES: White Burgundy, German Dry Riesling REDS: Red Rhône, Argentine Malbec Each week’s tasting will include 8 wines, and there’ll be some tasty cheese as accompaniment. The cost for each tasting is £37.50, but if you book for all three sessions, the price will be just £100, saving £12.50.
