Sylva Wood School

We established the Sylva Wood School to plug significant gaps which exist in formal wood education. Ultimately, we want to support a revival of Britain’s wood culture through excellence in creativity and craftsmanship using home-grown timber.

Our aims are to:

1. Stimulate an innovative and skilful approach to design and craft in home-grown timber.
2. Educate the next generation of consumers, designers, craftspeople, and woodland owners to ensure growth in the value of trees and timber.
3. Support the next generation of designers and makers in wood, helping to bridge the gap between education and professional life.
4. Create inspiring experiences and opportunities for young people to experience making with homegrown timber.
