classes and workshops

These woodworking courses and workshops are primarily aimed at beginners or those with some basic existing skills.

The classes focus on developing your essential hand tool skills and how to get the best from your workspace.

Teaching is a combination of demonstrations and practical exercises. You will have the opportunity to spend time at your bench putting this into practice using a beautiful selection of hand tools.

If you have struggled in the past with blunt chisels or hand planes you may well be surprised at what you can achieve with sharp well set up tools.

Gift cards to redeem against classes can be bought in the shop.
