Vouchers
Why not gift someone a voucher towards a craft workshop at the Tree to Treen workshop? Perfect for someone you know who is keen on learning a new skill. They will leave not just with newly learnt skills, but also a item of treen made by their own hands!
The vouchers are for a set amount, so please view course details for guidance on which voucher to buy. You can book vouchers by clicking the ‘voucher’ tab next to the ‘schedule’ tab on the calendar view of available courses below.
Once you purchase the gift voucher, you’ll receive an email to print out and write a message on. We will also be in touch to request information such as email address of the recipient (and when we can safely contact them!), to let them know when new course dates go live.
Bespoke Learning Days
Spend time with Geoff Hannis making and learning the item(s) of your choice. Choose to learn on your own for maximum learning opportunity, or group together with a friend or friend to make things cheaper. All prices are based on it being a weekday to be arranged at the time of booking. Please enquire directly via the contact page to arrange your day.
If you wish to do something that is not listed here, or if you are interested in learning from a different tutor in the space, then do get in touch, so we can see what is possible.
