More workshop dates to be announced soon. In the meantime there are a series of ‘meet and mow’ sessions this summer for existing scythers to attend.

Beginners Workshops. I provide all the kit and we will work through the basics of scything – set up, safety, mowing techniques, sharpening and we will briefly touch on peening.
Improvers Workshops. These sessions are for existing scythers who can bring their own kit with them and we will focus on peening, blade care and mowing techniques.
