A Piece for Life from Fresh Wood
In the green wood workshop of WaldHaus Freiburg, freshly cut wood transforms into a characterful bowl. On Saturday, October 24, 2026, adults will learn in small groups the safe handling of carving axes and adzes, taking the first step towards a durable workpiece.
Craftsmanship with a Forest Feel
The course combines concentrated work, natural materials, and a special event atmosphere. The scent of fresh wood, the rhythmic sound of tools, and the tranquil surroundings of WaldHaus create an intense event experience for people who enjoy traditional craftsmanship.
Working Safely, Shaping Precisely
At the beginning, test pieces and basic working techniques are in focus. Under the expert guidance of Matthis Berthold, participants practice the use of special tools before crafting their own wooden bowl from green wood. Green wood is easier to work with than dried wood, providing immediate access to craft design.
A Course with Sustainable Perspective
The event draws from a traditional form of wood processing and combines it with modern event planning and practical target group communication. In the second part of the course on November 21, 2026, the dried bowls will receive their final treatment. Thus, a personal everyday object with a visible history of creation emerges over two dates.
Experience and Expert Guidance
Matthis Berthold has been trained at Sätergläntan, Institute for Traditional Craft in Sweden. WaldHaus Freiburg has operated its green wood workshop since 2008, teaching the art and skill of green wood processing with experienced presenters.
Conclusion: Shaping with Your Own Hands
The green wood workshop offers concentrated handwork, sustainable materials, and an authentic nature experience in Freiburg. Those who want to experience the journey from freshly cut wood to their own bowl live and start a personal workpiece will find a special creative course with a sustainable character here.
