Take your shot and create your own PVC recurve bow from scratch!
Our recurve bow making workshops will introduce you to the craft of PVC bow making where you'll thermoform high-grade PVC into a fully functioning recurve bow.
After a brief introduction to PVC bow making, you'll heat form a section of high-grade imported PVC tube until it's pliable then place the tube into a custom-made bow press to achieve a recurve bow shape.
Once your bow is formed you'll be guided through the application of paint effects, leather punching, stitching, and bowstringing techniques.
At the end of the four hour workshop, you will have created a customised, fully functional recurve bow suitable for recreational archery, LARP, costuming and more!
No special skills are required and the workshop is open to all - you'll learn to use a heat gun, hand tools and paint application. Aprons and PPE are provided; however, it's best to wear clothes you won't mind getting a splash of paint on and comfy closed-in footwear.
The workshops are held at our home studio in the quiet Blue Mountains suburb of Medlow Bath where Pete practises his art, prop making and guitar building and his wife is an avid gardener.
We look forward to seeing you!
