Discover Wernog Wood – A Creative Escape in North Wales Where ‘Handmade by You’ is the Wernog Wood Way!
Tucked away in the picturesque countryside near Llanbedr-Dyffryn-Clwyd, outside Ruthin in North Wales, you’ll find Wernog Wood, a creative haven that blends artisan craftsmanship with the peace and tranquillity of nature. For Acorn Leisure holiday homeowners looking to try something new, explore a hidden talent, or simply enjoy a mindful day being creative, Wernog Wood is the perfect place to immerse yourself in something completely different.
During our recent visit, we were inspired by the relaxed, rustic atmosphere and the passion of owners Claire and Rob, who call Wernog Wood home. We’re now exploring a unique ‘taster course’ idea exclusively for Acorn Leisure holiday homeowners — a small group experience where you can roll up your sleeves, get creative, and leave with something truly handmade.
Exclusive Taster Courses for Acorn Leisure Holiday Homeowners
Imagine spending the day with Claire Acworth, a talented jeweller, who will guide you through the process of crafting your own piece of jewellery — a keepsake with meaning and a story. Or perhaps you’d prefer something more hands-on? Join Rob Hill for a welding workshop and create a practical yet stylish outdoor boot rack, perfect for those muddy walking boots after exploring the Clwydian Range or Maes Mynan Park’s Sequoia woodland.
Hands-On Courses That Inspire New Hobbies and Skills
It’s not just about the end product — it’s about the joy of learning, the focus of working with your hands, and the well-being that comes from stepping away from screens and into a slower pace of life. Wernog Wood also offers a wide range of short courses throughout the year, including:-
- Jewellery making
- Welding and metalwork
- Wood carving
- Printmaking and painting
- Weaving and textiles
- Botanical ink drawing
- Spoon carving
- And much more…
Each course is designed to be inclusive, friendly, and mindful — no experience needed, just a willingness to try. Set within a peaceful valley, the studio spaces and outdoor areas are designed to help you relax, connect with others, and reconnect with nature, whilst enjoying your new-found skills.
