8 Week Class
Master the basics in our 8 week beginners program
About this course
Embark on a transformative woodworking journey with our Beginner Woodworking Course, designed to provide a comprehensive foundation in essential techniques within a supportive learning environment. Spanning 8 weeks of engaging 3-hour classes, this course is crafted to instill the fundamental skills needed for safe and proficient woodworking.
Throughout the program, you'll gain hands-on experience with woodworking tools, equipment, and timber as your artistic medium. Our focus is on cultivating familiarity with the tools while delving into the intricate processes involved in crafting with timber. By the end of the course, you'll emerge with not only newfound skills but also a heightened confidence to embark on your woodworking projects.
As part of the learning experience, we'll guide you through the creation of a basic toolbox—an ideal project to showcase and reinforce your developing abilities. Whether you're starting with a minimal tool collection or none at all, this class caters to all skill levels.
It's important to note that our Beginner Woodworking Course does not cover timber machining. If you're eager to explore working with reclaimed or rough-sawn timber in your future projects, we recommend considering our Timber Milling Workshop or progressing to our Intermediate Term Class for a more in-depth exploration of your woodworking capabilities. Elevate your woodworking skills with us and discover the joy of crafting with timber in a supportive and fun setting.
