We are passionate about woodwork for everyone. It’s both an ancient and very modern craft – endlessly fascinating, challenging and richly rewarding.

Our space
A warm welcome awaits you, no matter your level of woodworking experience.
Our workshop is well equipped with a wide selection of quality hand tools, portable electric tools and larger machinery. We always have a good selection of carefully chosen wood in stock – sustainably sourced. We have a library of woodwork and related books and articles. And there is limited storage on site for any work-in-progress.

Our courses
There are our ‘core’ project-based classes, Woodworks General Classes. These are more open ended, start with a 1-2-1, they take place throughout the week and last three hours, including a tea break.

From September 26 we are delighted to introduce Day Courses and Short Courses. Open to everyone, these include Woodwork Basics, Letter Carving and Carving Club. These may be more suitable if you aren’t ready commit to a large project or regular attendance.

For groups, we have a popular range of options for awaydays and private courses.

‘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.’
