Saturday coaching

How a first session goes

Borrow everything

Board, helmet and pads come out of the shed. Nobody buys a setup before they know they like it.
Flat ground first

Pushing, turning and stopping on the tennis court before anyone goes near the bowl.
Falling, on purpose

Twenty minutes learning to bail. It is the only thing that stops the first bad slam ending it.

Most chairs worth recovering are worth stripping back to the frame first. Here is what happens between collection and delivery.

Strip and assess

Everything comes off. Woodworm, split rails and failed joints are quoted before any fabric is cut.
Springs and webbing

Retied by hand in eight knots. This is the part nobody sees and the part that fails first.
Cover and finish

Cut, fitted and stitched on the frame, with the pattern matched across the seat and back.

Beginners' wheel

Weeks one and two

Centring. Almost nothing survives, and that is the expected outcome.
Weeks three and four

Pulling walls and trimming feet. You will keep two or three pots from these evenings.
Weeks five and six

Glazing and firing. Everything comes out of the kiln a fortnight after the course ends.

The conversation

Half an hour on what you want it to do, not what you want it to smell like.
Three trials

Posted a week apart on blotters, so you smell each one somewhere that is not our counter.
The formula is yours

Written on the label at full percentages. Reorder from us or take it anywhere you like.

Beach cleans

Nine at the slipway

Bags, pickers and gloves provided. Two hours, and we stop whatever the weather does.
Everything gets weighed

Sorted into six categories and logged, which is what makes the data worth anything.
Breakfast after

The café on the front does bacon rolls at cost for anyone still wearing a hi-vis.
