Well Dressing Project

Swanwick Parish Council asked the shed to design and build frames to hold well dressing boards, large heavy trays filled with wet clay. Nails are hammered into the base as a key for the clay and then left to soak in water for several days. Pictures are then created from flowers, seeds and beans often depicting local scenes or biblical stories. Shedders built free-standing A-frame easels free of charge as our first community project. They can be seen in action at the Swanwick Well Dressings in May 2017.
