  Creative Drumming & Percussion Workshops

Drumming and percussion workshops are great for improving our ability to work and interact with others, for improving listening skills, for building and enhancing teamwork and for building self-confidence.  They make great ice-breakers and are a brilliant way to relieve stress. We also use them effectively in schools to enhance cross-curricular learning and for revision.

All workshops are custom-designed to meet the needs of our clients and are run by experienced, friendly, facilitators in a fun non-threatening and creative atmosphere.

All staff are fully CRB-checked.

'I would recommend Waywood [Music] to anyone wishing to purchase percussion instruments. Given the natural variability of handmade instruments, it is worth a lot to be able to trust the person you are buying from to pick out a good one for you, and on top of that to be priced so competitively is the icing on the cake.'

(PC, Customer, London)

  Fair Trade Jewellery and Products from Latin America & India

As part of our commitment to others, we sell fairly traded jewellery, helping to ensure that the artisans and craftsmen can provide a better living for themselves and their families.  Products are sourced from Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, Columbia, El Salvador, Ecuador, Chile, Bolivia and more recently, India.

Our supplier was one of the first to establish fair trading links with Latin America as far back as 1978, working alongside Oxfam and Traidcraft, carving a path that many others would later follow when Fair Trade became more 'trendy'.

Each item is handcrafted blending ancient traditional skills with  contemporary techniques. Whilst some artisans recycle local resources such as bone, quills and coconut shell from the Amazon, others work intricate designs in glass, ceramics, silver and semi-precious stones. Some use technologies from the space programme to produce stunningly beautiful dichroic glass jewellery. At the other extreme, there is a range of jewellery made from tagua, or vegetable ivory, carved from the nut of a native palm tree. Renewed economic interest in this palm is helping to save destruction of the Ecuadorian Rainforest.

This part of our business is handled by the Waywood Fair Trade brand.  Use the following link to access full details on the Waywood Fair Trade Website.
