Meet the Maker: Knots Wood Design

Join us for live wood turning demonstrations at Sissinghurst Castle Garden. All wood used sustainably sourced from National Trust properties.

Meet Kent-based John and his wife Carol of Knots Wood Design for some live demonstrations* of wood turning on 4, 5 and 6 September.

The wood is sustainably sourced from local National Trust properties, which has been turned into bespoke products from bowls to vases and coasters, all of which are available in our onsite shop.

Each piece from the collection has been hand crafted to reflect the natural beauty of the wood.

Over three days, join us to learn the process behind the creation of these unique products.
