Ironshirt specialise in sustainable design and traditional craftsmanship. From garden studios and cabins to tree houses, tiny homes, and amazing spaces, every structure is hand-built with care, creativity, and respect for the environment.
We blend eco-friendly materials, artistic design, and robust engineering to create buildings that are both beautiful and enduring. Whether you want a quiet retreat, a workshop, or a sculptural hideaway, we’ll help you design and build something truly unique.
Courses and Workshops
We offer a range of workshops and courses for people of all levels from beginners to advanced. If you always fancied learning how to build in straw bale, or wanted to try your hand at metalwork or stove building, come and join us!
Our course change all the time but here are some examples of ones we have run in the past:
- Straw bale building courses
- Metalwork and stove-building workshops
- Wood and metal sculpture introduction courses
They are very friendly, hands on, and delivered by Grant Oatley, a craftsman with years of experience to share.
