Participants on this 1-day course will learn how to make a traditional woven hazel hurdle from hazel sticks cut from coppice sites in Central Scotland.

You'll learn all parts of the process, including: selecting and preparing hazel rods for the different parts of a hurdle; splitting the rods; setting the uprights, or zales; weaving; and finishing. Participants will take their own hurdles home, each hurdle measuring approx. 6ft by 3ft.
