As well as designing and creating furniture for clients in Sheffield and across the region, Finbarr also teaches a three-day course guiding students through the process of making a hardwood table.
This is an engaging and hands-on course for all abilities, and no previous experience is required. Some courses run over three consecutive days, some across two weekends, and attendees use a variety of tools and techniques to create a beautiful side table to take home.
As a qualified and experienced teacher, Finbarr shares the knowledge he has gained from 25 years of furniture-making to help each student achieve fantastic results.
You will use a combination of hand tools and machinery, and learn the best way to measure, mark and cut the joints for this piece of furniture. All materials and tools are provided, and each student will have bench space with a vice.
Working at your own pace, and with as little or as much help as you need, you will be guided through the woodworking process. By the end of the third day you will have transformed oak timber pieces into a beautifully sanded and finished oak side-table that you will treasure forever.

Many people want to begin woodwork but need a bench. (How do I build a bench if I do not have a bench on which to build a bench…….) Over the past couple of years we have made a number of “modern benches” to our specific design.
During your 30 day experience you will have access to our secondary studio where we can help you see any of your creative projects through to fruition. Our secondary studio has a private working bench and shelves above it. Tools and materials subject to bespoke requirements
On completion of the Woodwork Foundation Course you will be welcome to develop your woodworking skills further through project work during the daytime or evening classes.
