The boatyard received many awards in the UK and abroad, and in 2014 Colin was awarded Maker of the Year by the Heritage Crafts Association. In October 2016 Colin handed the boatyard over to two of his team who are successfully continuing the tradition he began 35 years ago. Not one to retire, Colin has established a workshop at the Sylva Wood Centre where he is currently re-building a 1920 Thames motor canoe.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8758\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Colin_Henwood-tutor.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8758\" class=\"size-large wp-image-8758\" src=\"https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Colin_Henwood-tutor-1024x790.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Colin_Henwood-tutor.jpg 640w,https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Colin_Henwood-tutor-355x977.jpg 1024w,https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Colin_Henwood-tutor.jpg 1440w,https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Colin_Henwood-tutor.jpg 1920w\" alt=\"Colin Henwood with students making a canoe paddle at the Sylva Wood Centre\" width=\"1024\" height=\"790\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-8758\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Colin Henwood with students making a canoe paddle at the Sylva Wood Centre<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_9130\" style=\"width: 860px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9130\" class=\"wp-image-9130\" src=\"https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Paddle-course_Jun2018-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Paddle course_Jun2018\" width=\"850\" height=\"638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Paddle-course_Jun2018-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Paddle-course_Jun2018-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Paddle-course_Jun2018-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Paddle-course_Jun2018-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Paddle-course_Jun2018-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Paddle-course_Jun2018.jpg 2016w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-9130\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paddle course at the Sylva Wood Centre, Jun2018<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During this two-day course with award-winning boat builder Colin Henwood, you will learn how to shape a single canoe paddle from Ash using hand tools.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":9130,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[129,245,398],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Paddle-course_Jun2018.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9129"}],"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=9129"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9129\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9130"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9129"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9129"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sylva.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
