Iain Patterson from The Crannog Centre is in need of very large numbers of hazel hurdle rods for a project. Splitters & weavers, max diameter 2″ at the butt, will pay £2.00 per rod. He’ll be coming down in a very large van to collect rods from suppliers in Lancs/Cumbria Sunday 26th March. Please contact Iain directly if you are able to [email protected]

[email protected] is looking for craft workers to demo at this event this year. Budgets and dates are still to be firmed up but it’s likely to be a mid-late June weekend. They’re wanting to make a dedicated craft area this year. Please get in touch directly to register your interest in attending & get in the loop for the final details.

We have recruited Emma Groves to produce a newsletter for CANW. There’s loads of interesting stuff going on (we have such interesting members), so it would be good to share the news. If you have any interesting projects on the go or anything to share please get in touch with me ([email protected]) & I’ll forward it on to her.

In anticipation of our member’s collective shyness(!) we have tasked Emma with actively seeking content, which means that she might get in touch with some of you (our members) individually at some point in the year to see what you’re up to & if any content can be generated that way. (If you’d like to opt out of being contacted please let me know & I’ll redact the contact list that she receives.)

Natalie Pownall from National Trust Dunham Massey is looking to source good quality coppice hedge stakes. If you can supply please get in touch with [email protected], otherwise she’ll have to use softwood ones, which would be a shame.
