During their time with us they took on several new staff members, and the company expanded their online tutorials, published a book, and offered several woodworking classes at the centre. We were delighted to include a talk from Paul in our inaugural <em>WoodWords<\/em> event in 2016, while the company sponsored a number of plots in the <em>Future Forest<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>In a generous gesture, the team have made a short film to reflect upon their time with us at the Sylva Wood Centre, featuring interviews with a number of the craftspeople. We wish Paul and his team every success in their new larger unit, just a few miles away, and look forward to future collaborations.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Saying Goodbye to Sylva | Paul Sellers\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/q1mi0_ZRWnc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week we said farewell to Paul Sellers and the team at Rokesmith, who have built up an incredibly successful business over the last two years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":8787,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[172,353,398],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Sellers-film-2018.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8786"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8786"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8786\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8787"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8786"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8786"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8786"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
