This short course is intensive, but the atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable which creates a good learning environment. If you have a particular project in mind, or some building plans you wish to gain advice on, our instructors will be more than happy to discuss these with you.
You will get dirty so you should bring working clothes. We have changing room facilities for men and women!

These can be purchased from reception on your first morning for £20 if required.

This course focuses on the mastery of hand tools, such as chisels and planes, where practical skill is emphasised rather than theory. If you have any planned or ongoing DIY projects, your instructor will be more than happy to provide expert advice.

This course will provide you with a range of carpentry and joinery skills and knowledge. You will also develop an understanding of the health and safety requirements for working in the construction industry, and the industry itself.
This course is more physically demanding than carving a spoon, so would serve as a natural progression for those who have done some carving before. However keen first timers are always welcome!
