Our bowl-making classes are suitable for complete beginners. We take a maximum of ten people per session. You will be working in pairs, one supporting the other, taking turns to complete each stage in the production of your own bowl. The trainer demonstrates the method before each step, then you work at your own pace with his guidance and supervision. We usually have a very balanced mix of men and women of different ages. Just over half of attendees come on their own and the vast majority have no previous experience.
You will be amazed at what you can do in five hours even if you have never handled woodworking tools before. Having shaped your bowl inside and out the colour and lustre of the chosen wood are brought out by high-speed but traditional finishing techniques. At the end of a busy and enjoyable day, you will have made something of form and beauty. We can help if you wish to progress further with turning or are interested in setting up your own workshop.
The Camden Town Shed is an association offering a workspace where users can work on practical projects or follow hobbies with others. The space is currently equipped for woodworking and hand-building in clay although we hope to extend that range.
Members decide when they come and what they do and enjoy learning from each other. The main sessions are for older people but other supervised sessions can be for over-18’s.
Although its free to attend the workshop is substantially funded by member donations, public courses and any items we make for sale. Members can come from anywhere in London.
In this throw away age, when all the furniture we own is assembled and not built, we are pleased to offer an opportunity to spend some precious time learning how to use ageless tools to make something everlasting from wood.
This is a one year course for learners who have successfully completed the Level 1 Diploma in Carpentry and Joinery.
This elemental two day beginners' course is intended for those new to woodworking or with limited experience.
All our courses are about furniture. Our core subjects are upholstery, cabinet making and furniture restoration. All demand some flair – which we know you have!
A one day course developing the skills you have learned from our 'Introduction to Woodwork - Hand Tools 1' course, as well as expanding tool knowledge and skills.
