A DENBIGHSHIRE company was given a very special invite to this years 40th Glastonbury Festival.
Rod Waterfield from the Bodfari Woodland Skills Centre and his children, who are also tutors at the centre, were asked to set up camp in the Greencrafts Field at the week long festival.
The Woodland Skills Centre runs a wide range of traditional craft courses at their base in Bodfari including bushcraft and family days or week long courses.
During the festival Rod and his children Nia, Helen and Alan ran workshops on making gypsy flowers, willow sun-flowers, willow plant supports, bird-feeders, besom brooms, tent pegs, stools and using natural dyes to print cotton and make it into bags.
"We were invited to go out of the blue and it was really good fun in that little oasis," said Rod who was fresh from setting up his stall at Woodfest in St Asaph.
"We ran about 20 different workshops which cost between £5- £10."
The team demonstrated other traditional woodland crafts such as using a pole-lathe, using a shave-horse and spoon carving.
The Bodfari team were also told they were the only Welsh stand at the festival.
"We try and be bilingual and lots of people said it was the only Welsh at the festival.
"We are committed both to preserving crafts and doing something new and introducing things to people they didn't think they could do before."
The Canolfan Crefftau'r Goedwig stand had a steady stream of visitors over the five days and the team had enough spare time to explore the whole festival site and listen to the bands.
Rod said his musical highlight was watching Alan Price, founding member of 60s chart toppers The Animals.
"I think we will get invited back next year, we were also approached by many others during the festival."
