One of the comments we often receive is “there’s too much to do at Stone the Crows”. Yes Daddy Day Care has the same problem … too many potential projects.
For 2019, there will be a selection of woodwork articles including a selection of boxes from the basic to the really fancy more advanced items. Whip making, pyrography, 3D printing, drones and other “guy” type topics will fill up the program in this marquee as well.
The moon and paradise boxes return with some new variations while the butterfly box shown below is something for the more advanced students. If you are a card player, you might like a new addition engraved box designed to two packs of cards. Who doesn’t seem to have a washing machine or dryer which “eats” sox – we have created a holder which will keep these lonely sox until you find the mate. Bird feeders sold out last year and by popular request, they will be back. There are still some other projects in the development phase, so come back and see the new additions as the prototypes are completed.

This butterfly box is an example of the advanced options for 2019. The spine is segmented wooden parts and the wings are hinged by these segments.

Once again Daddy Day Care has its own marquee with tables and chairs provided. The guys (and gals) are very proficient artisans and really enjoy sharing their knowledge with students.
Daddy Day Care activities will be promoted via the Crow Chronicle in early 2019 with photographs of projects. As with the Crafty Crows, you can book your spot at the table and then on arrival at the grounds pay for your kit. If you prefer to see the finished article before deciding on participation in the class, you can do so on Friday arrival day but no spot is confirmed until payment is made.
Classes and demonstrations are held on Saturday and Sunday from 10.30 am to 3.30 pm, Monday is, of course, open day and markets (again you might like to sell some of your handmade goodies by having a market stall) and then the same hours Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday is finishing off day by arrangement with the tutor.
