Furniture Foundation Course – 5 days

9am – 4.30 pm

Level – Those who have completed our 1- or 2-day experiences. 

This is an immersive week in the workshop for those wanting to develop deeper furniture-making skills.

Over five days, you will have the flexibility to design and build a solid timber side table or stool - guided through each stage of the process with structured, hands-on instruction.

This course focuses on understanding the material as much as the method — building both skill in using hand tools and all the common woodworking machines.

• Design
• Timber selection and preparation
• Safe and correct use of workshop machinery and power tools
