In this half-day woodworking taster session, I'll guide you through making a finely proportioned swing-lid box in your choice of wood, using an interesting mix of machines and hand tools. You don't need to have any prior woodworking knowledge at all to enjoy this. There are just two places in each class so you will receive detailed tuition and have plenty of time for any questions.

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

£150 including 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!
