Different makers

Carpenter, joiner, violin maker and wheelwright all work with wood, but not on the same product. Compare their tools and ask which task each piece supports. Clog makers and coopers are also covered within the subject.

Traces of use

Look at wear and finish, not just the original shape. A trace of use can raise a question about how something was held or maintained. Let the guided tour help you distinguish between observation and explanation.

A private appointment

There are no fixed opening times. Get in touch by phone or e-mail and confirm the date, duration and admission conditions. Discuss straight away how you enter the farmyard and whether the space is suitably accessible for your group.

Before you go

By appointment only. Also confirm the entrance, price and any accessibility requirements.
