This is the ideal class if you’ve got a project that you want to undertake but need guidance to get it on the right track, or are new to the craft and want a substantial primer of information and skills to set you off. You're hiring me and my workshop exclusively, so the class can be tailored to exactly fit you, the way you learn and what your intentions are. If you have always had the ambition of making something but aren't sure how to start, this is the way to go.

You can let me know how you'd like to use your time in the workshop when you're booking or closer to the time. I'll supply any materials, which are paid for separately- unless we are just using a couple of small pieces in which case it's included - and you can bring up to two people to the session (for larger groups please contact me).

Fridays, 9.30am-12.30pm or 2pm-5pm

£300 plus materials

My workshop is now in a picturesque old market town on the edge of the breathtaking North York Moors National Park, halfway between the historic city of York and the coast. It's an ideal location if you want to combine a woodworking class with stunning scenery, fantastic walks, local food and a general holiday vibe.

I moved here in 2023 to be closer to family, after over a decade of making furniture and teaching woodworking classes for adults at my workshop in north London. My new space has the same feel – it's a real, professional woodworking workshop where I make my own furniture and commissions. You'll be using the same professional machinery and tools, in an environment full of my own random woodworking curiosities and plenty of sawdust.

I look forward to welcoming you with plentiful tea, random anecdotes, and always good cheer. Let's make some shavings!
