It’s been an absolute pleasure to build this Oak framed barn. English Oak not only provided the frame but also all studs, rafters and Cladding. What an amazing species of wood.

The amazing Easebourne community park revisited sadly in someways. We’re back to repair the ceiling and some railings on the Roundhouse. You may have seen us.
This park is for the benefits of all. That has been run by forwarding thinking people that have given up their time for this park, and what a job they have done.
Let’s keep it that way😀

Feeling so Proud, on Tuesday Sussex Heritage Trust had its awards and Littlewood Lookout based on at Slindon National Trust won in its category and was highly commended by the SDNPA.

SDNPA said "Its use of traditional timber-frame construction, albeit in a modern expression, make it just about the nearest thing to a ‘building of the landscape’ i.e. a vernacular building that could be imagined in this day and age.
The result is an artefact of beauty that inspires and is clearly landscape led.

We are very proud to have been involved in this project from its design, milling the shingles for its roof, training and supporting the rangers. A real fun part was steam bending the rafters.

Artizans has always loved passing on our knowledge and skills through training. It's really been great over our 10 years to train so many wonderful people.

We hope very soon to be running training courses at our wonderful new home on the Goodwood Estate.

Introducing Otus.
We were recently commissioned by the National trust to create some owl box’s. Having
Ideal landscapes but no suitable buildings or dead trees for the owls to live and nest in.
Otus offers a solution.
The large nesting box will deter’s jackdaws and squirrels and the hope is it will lead to more owlets hatching and surviving.
