Pete Wheeler is a well respected local wood carver, who has run evening classes in Ringwood for many years. Pete also has a keen interest in the craft of stickmaking and he and a few others recognised the need for a self-help group in our area.
In 2004 the first meetings took place and now we meet several times a year, usually, at Woodlands Village Hall near Verwood in Dorset.
Our members are encouraged to belong to the BSG (British Stickmakers Guild) and come from far and wide and are by no means restricted to Hampshire and Dorset.
