As
a leading social enterprise we specialise in the delivery of Timber
Framing, Roundwood and Shingle roofs,
Restoration
Skills and Wattle and Daub
training.
We
are craftspeople dedicated to skills development and a
traditional approach that is environmentally sound and people friendly.
At
Orchard Barn we are committed to using locally sourced natural
materials and teaching you how to create buildings that
will still be beautiful and functional in hundreds of years time.
Our
portfolio includes timber frame craft rooms, repaired historic timbers,
a green oak roof frame, hand-made
barn doors, shingle-clad roof, wattle
and daub, clay rendered cob walls as
well as our home-made greenwood benches.
Fantastic turnout for our Heritage Open Barn Afternoon
Our
focus for 2016 is the construction of a new craft
room - a reconstruction of a 19th
century cart lodge.
We have just completed a successful Crowd-funding campaign that will
enable us to progress. A BIG THANK-YOU to everyone who pledged money,
time, trees, skills and energy!
