Overview
Tuition
Tuition has been structured to suit individuals with no previous woodworking experience, however, those with a basic understanding and a desire to improve will be able to hone their skills or have the opportunity to learn something new.
Instruction is given in a relaxed and informal atmosphere where there will be no more than four participants per course to allow for maximum individual attention.
Projects
The courses are project led to enable learning through making; each being based around the aspects of ‘Tools, Timber and Technique’.
Through this approach there will be a combination of demonstration, instruction and discussion but principally it will be a practical ‘hands-on’ experience.
Each project will give an opportunity to experience a range of woodworking techniques.
Facilities
Drinks making facilities are available at the workshop for tea/coffee breaks.
For lunch, The Quarter @ Potbank café is open Wednesday - Saturday where you would be able to buy food to eat there or bring back to the workshop, plus there is a local sandwich shop and a Sainsbury’s store within 5/10 minutes walk.
You are welcome to bring your own lunch to eat either within the workshop or in the communal seating area.
Each workbench has a small lockable cupboard for the secure storage of personal belongings.
Free off road parking available.
Unfortunately, at this time, the courses are not suitable for individuals with physical/mobility difficulties that would preclude them from standing and working at a bench for a continuous period of time.
