The Sylva Wood Centre offers short courses in woodworking, forestry and rural management, outdoor learning and other subjects.
These courses are held by experts in their field using the specialist facilities of the Wood Centre in Oxfordshire which is set in an attractive landscape including a young forest, outdoor education area and community orchard.
Gift vouchers can be redeemed by the recipient in part payment for any advertised course and makes the perfect gift for Christmas, birthdays or special occasions.
The New Sylva by Gabriel Hemery and Sarah Simblet - published to wide acclaim by Bloomsbury in 2014 - contains 200 stunning pen and ink drawings, including whole-tree portraits, botanical parts and forest scenes. They were drawn by internationally-renowned artist Sarah Simblet while she was artist-in-residence for environmental charity the Sylva Foundation. Just 14 remain available for sale.
Sarah Simblet rarely sells her work as prints. This represents a unique investment and a special opportunity for fans of her stunning drawings. Each print will be signed by Sarah Simblet, and accompanied by an attractive Certificate of Authenticity, signed by both authors of The New Sylva.
