This is a hands-on and practical class. Students will work on their own project and at their own pace. 

In the first lesson new participants will complete a safety briefing and discuss their projects with the tutor. Take measurements and/or find pictures of items you would like to make.

You will NOT need to bring anything for the first lesson, except for an outline of the beginner’s project you would like to complete. Examples of projects undertaken in the past include coffee tables, bookcases, simple games, drum stands, beehives, plant stands, boxes, frames and stools/chairs. 

Please note: Completion of this course requires the purchase of timber, nails, glue, sandpaper and any other consumables for finishing your project, which is not included in the course fee. Recycled timber CANNOT be used as this may damage equipment. Tools will be available to use.

Participants will need to be able to carry their project a short distance from their car into the workshop and then back again to be stored at home between lessons.

Please note: All courses need a minimum number to go ahead.
