Have a look at this wonderful piece of marquetry made by Sophie as part of her training on the May 12-week Furniture Making course. The class recently spent an afternoon with our storeman Tim, who has spent many years practicing the craft. #woodworking #woodwork

Thanks to all who came out for the launch of the boats built by the Class of October ‘21. This day marked their end of the course and the start of their lives as boat builders. Here are few photo highlights from Jenny Steer

Here’s Ben with his meditation chair, designed and made on the 12-week Furniture Making course. For his final project, Ben sourced reused timber from a London Plane tree; making this chair sustainable and of low impact to the environment. #woodworking #furnituremaking #craft

For his final project piece on the 12-week Furniture Making course, Sam designed and made this Oak library steps with an Ash bend on the side. The design started as rigid and structured, which made Sam incorporate the Ash steambend detail. #woodworking #furnituremaking #craft
