SUMMARY:Roundwood timber framing - September
DESCRIPTION:Book this and the 16 – 19 July 2019 course together and save £25 | book both courses for £795 | reserve your place for £75 \nBook your place on The Sustainability Centre’s website. \nThe course in brief:\nA practical\, hands-on course in building with roundwood timber using traditional tools and techniques\, working with local wood sourced from our site. Timber like this\, used in the round\, marries strength and beauty to create buildings that can either stand alone or sit comfortably alongside more traditional structures. \nThe course will take you through the process of raising your very own roundwood timber structure and will include both theory and practice. From selecting your timber and peeling the bark\, to visiting a completed project and raising the frame\, these two complimentary courses will inform and inspire you to create a beautiful natural building\, designed to blend into its surroundings. \n\n“Completing the whole process – from peeling the poles to raising the frame – was absolutely great\, both in terms of being able to use and apply what we learnt and the sense of satisfaction and achievement at the end. And it was a great all-round experience on top of learning how to make the frame.”WS\, Midhurst \n\nThe course in detail\n​During this four day course\, you will be laying out roof rafters and braces to a roundwood timber cruck frame using winter-felled wood\, finishing with a standing frame.  We will be covering: \n\nThe selection of suitable timber species for frames\nThe selection of poles and the peeling process\nFraming bed introduction and layouts\nThe theory and practice of cutting various joints involved in a structure including different styles of roof rafter\, sawn and round.\nThe tools required\, including the use of a log scribe\nVisit to a completed roundwood timber framed building\nDiscussion of various natural materials and finishes e.g. shingles\, green roofs\, rendered straw bales\, sheep wool etc\nThe course culminates with the raising of the finished frame\n\nThe course will give you:\n\nAn understanding of how to select the correct timber and poles\nExperience of peeling\, framing beds\, cutting various joints including scribed half laps\, mortice and tenons\, and raising a completed frame\nOpportunity to use traditional tools\nAn understanding of various natural materials and finishes\nA full course booklet will be provided to all participants to enable you to take on projects of your own.\n\nThis course can be booked individually for an introduction to roundwood timber framing\, or it can be bought together with the September course for a deeper learning outcome. \nWho is this course suitable for?\nNo carpentry experience is required as we’ve tailored this course to cater for both novices and experienced carpenters. \nWhat to bring/wear\n\nPlease dress according to the weather with waterproofs\, sunhats\, sun cream etc as necessary.\nOld clothes\, stout footwear and a change of shoes are necessary.\nCalculator and camera would be useful.\nHot drinks are provided but you may choose to bring your own snacks and a bottle of water.\nLunch is available every day except Monday from the on-site Beech Cafe\, or you may choose to bring your own.\n\nAbout the tutors\nArtizans is a team of natural builders in the South Downs National Park whose core belief is in building sustainably – treading lightly on the landscape but delivering homes and structures that suit modern-day living. \nDylan Walker formed Artizans in 2013. He learned traditional timber framing techniques and construction skills as an apprentice to Ben Law and has focused on working with timber in the round and creating more sustainable buildings since 2006. His teaching style is patient and understanding and his down-to-earth manner makes even the trickiest techniques easy to understand. He loves being a part of the course attendees’ journeys and his enthusiasm and passion for his subject is infectious! \nPaddy Cox has been a researcher in environmental sciences for many years. Since 2009 he has been involved in designing and building eco-structures\, with a particular interest in utilising the natural resources that are found locally\, such as timber and straw bale. Paddy assists Dylan in sharing and promoting traditional wood crafting techniques and the management of woodlands for the benefit of individuals and communities. \n \nVolunteering\nVolunteer opportunities for 2019 include a two storey cruck framed straw bale office\, a reciprocal roof roundhouse\, outdoor shelters\, and making and installing hand split shakes. \n\n“The training was expertly carried out – directed by dialogue – experiential learning and keeping a gentle eye on trainees as they worked alone or in groups (and rescuing us when need be!).”Dr Ian Bride\, Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology\, University of Kent \n\n
