op woodcraft

My name is Oliver Piepereit and I’m a trained architectural interior designer with a passion in all aspects of arts, crafts & design. I’ve wanted to design & make on a small scale for many years so pulled away from the rate race and trained up in furniture design, making, French polishing, furniture restoration and furniture refinishing. Following my tuition, OP Woodcraft was formed in April 2014. Life in the rat race was tiring, stressful, monotonous and took valuable time away from what is important in life to me, family, and health. Working in a practical creative environment has sculpted a life that is low in stress with an abundance of escapism which I’m sure translates in my work. OP Woodcraft is based at Northwick Business Centre, a bustling creative business park in the picturesque village of Blockley in the heart of the Cotswolds.

We think of arts and crafts as smaller, valuable actions that contribute to the community’s well being and that can tackle bigger social issues; we are big fans of “slow-making and slow-thinking”, focusing on the importance of making by hand, of taking your own time with your thoughts and ideas, and going against fast, capitalist structures of production and art making. We provide a variety of workshops utilising a range of different media, such as knitting and crocheting, collage, publication making, creative writing. Our workshops are suitable for beginners hesitant to approach arts and crafts and for more experienced makers that are tired of the elitism and exclusivity that characterise contemporary arts. Arts and crafts are for everyone, and we would love for our participants to come out from one of our workshops with more confidence in their artistic and social skills.

Needle felting is a joyous craft in which anyone can create 3D animals, birds and anything else your imagination conjures up! You may already be familiar with felting without knowing it – that sinking feeling when you pull your favourite woollen jumper out of the washing machine and it looks like a five year old would struggle to get into it?! When wool is agitated, it sticks together, creating a solid mass. Needle felting mimics that process, but instead of agitating the wool with hot water, you are using a barbed needle – making it possible to make not just 2D but 3D objects. Crafty Gal’s fun workshops are an introduction to the magic of dry needle felting, you will learn the basic techniques to get you started with Hannah guiding you through the process step by step. You will work through the day in a fun and creative environment, leaving with an adorable creation of your choice AND all the skills you need to continue with your needle felting ARTventure at home.
