Art Made from Tree Root Timber
Hidden treasures of nature
The dried out timber and tree roots from avalanche ravines and mountain streams are sanded and polished until they reveal their beautiful textures.
Treating the wood and welding the base
Each participant chooses a piece of wood. In the planning phase it is decided how the different pieces of woods can be put together after treatment to form one piece of art.
After that each participant has time to work on their individual pieces. All wood is worked on with a wide range of sanding paper. Tools such as saws and drills can also be used.
In order to be able to join the individual pieces together thin steel pins are and rods are made in the adjoining metal workshop. You will also create a base on which the pins and rods can be welded to.
Indoor team building
In the inviting and lofty metal workshop near Zurich (venues in Bern or Toggenburg available for a surcharge), we unite creative work with interactive team building
This programme is the perfect mix of individual work and teamwork. Each participant has the opportunity to contribute their creative and artistic aspects.
Strong teamwork will be the key to creating an extraordinary piece of art.
Refreshments
During the team-building programme the participants are invited to help themselves from a table with mineral water, soft drinks and a selection of savoury snacks.
