Maker's bio

I'm Mike Craig, a green woodworker based at the Otley Chevin Forest Park which is situated above the picturesque market town of Otley, West Yorkshire. I have over 20 years experience as an educator in countryside management and wildlife conservation and over 10 years experienced as a green woodwork course tutor. The only thing I enjoy more than carving green wood in a woodland setting is helping others to discover and develop their own green woodwork skills.

Lydia Leary-Kennan reviewed: Spoon Carving Taster Session

"Mike’s course was a brilliant experience from start to finish. The info he sent beforehand was helpful & reassuring, the location was fab, what we learned was invaluable, Mike was very knowledgeable & encouraging with a great energy & the spoons we took home are way better than anything we’d imagined we’d be able to create. Highly recommend to anyone, we could’ve stayed all day!"
