Edventure MAKE Course

A free, 3 week, part-time course by Edventure: Frome for 19-35 year olds.

You’ll spend three weeks in a team designing and making products by hand from unseasoned or ‘green’ wood. You’ll start in the woods by selecting and feeling your tree. Then, bring it back to Edventure and work with an expert local woodworker to elarn techniques and get stuck into the making and experimenting process before coming up with products for your team to sell at the Frome Independent Market.

You get to choose what to do with the profits.

You’ll develop business skills and explore new ways to progress towards a livelihood that matters to you.

• Try out and test creative ideas
• Meet new people and work as a team
• Make things with your hands
• Try your hand at a wide range of skills needed to set up a small business
• Get help with next steps and support from a mentor
• Access to a work and study space with free internet and coffee
