Welcome

We are passionate about woodwork for everyone. It’s both an ancient and very modern craft – endlessly fascinating, challenging and richly rewarding. Why not join our classes? Open to everyone – no experience necessary!Our classes are open to everyone, no experience necessary.

Our Space
A warm welcome awaits you. Classes take place in our well-equipped workshop.There is a wide selection of quality hand tools, portable electric tools and larger machinery including a planer thicknesser, bandsaw, scroll saw. We always have a good selection of carefully chosen wood in stock – from which you can choose wood for your projects. If needed we can order in or give you advice. In between sessions your work is stored on site. For ideas and inspiration, we have a library of woodwork and related books and articles. There is a kitchen area, microwave and fridge with tea and decent coffee making facilities. We always stop for a coffee/tea break mid-session, giving a chance to catch up – and then we go again!

Making and commissions
We do take on a limited number of commissions and repairs. Please contact us.

‘Fantastic and invaluable… a practical workshop, a place to learn, make, and share (if you want to). Hugh is brilliant, welcoming and skilled. Making things is good for you. And if you think you can’t, you can.’
