BARN CLUB - ROBERT SOMERVILLE KARTONIERT (TB)

Nature meets traditional craft in this celebration of the elm tree  beautiful buildings and
community spirit. Barn Club calls on us to discover our landscapes more intimately and to
explore the joys of making beautiful things by hand  together. When renowned craftsman Robert
Somerville moved to Hertfordshire  he discovered an unexpected landscape rich with wildlife and
elm trees. Nestled within Londons commuter belt  this wooded farmland inspired Somerville  a
lifelong woodworker  to revive the ancient tradition of hand-raising barns. Barn Club follows
the building of Carley Barn over the course of one year. Volunteers from all walks of life
joined Barn Club  inspired to learn this ancient skill of building elm barns by hand  at its
own quiet pace and in the company of others  while using timber from the local woods. The tale
of the elm tree in its landscape is central to Barn Club. Its natural history  historic
importance and remarkable survival make for a fascinating story. This is a tale of forgotten
trees  a local landscape and an ancient craft. This book includes sixteen pages of colour
photographs  and black and white line drawings of techniques and traditional timber frame barns
feature throughout.
