Drynachan Gallery EALDHAN FIODH (The Art of Wood). Drynachan gallery is set in the grounds of our 17th Century cottage. You are welcome to peruse Neville's woodturning or Sonia's handcrafted cards and painting's, also whilst you are here have a go at rotating the 19th century treadle lathe. All the wood Neville uses is locally sourced and turned green to give an individual, naturally edged style. There are bowls, goblets, platters, vases and interesting shapes that 'Mother Nature' has coloured whilst Neville applies the shape (wood whispering or what....). Sonias cards are each handcrafted, often using local photographs taken throughout the seasons. Tel: +44 (0)1809 501353 neville.robbins@btinternet.com
