You can be a novice with no experience or someone who wishes to produce more advanced work or learn new skills. The course is personal to the student. Learners are expected to practice techniques related to furniture making. Some learners may be inducted on machinery and portable power tools as appropriate, and are expected to use them to support the production process.

Our learners over the years have produced items from boxes to sets of chairs so the range and potential is immense and we will provide the support and techniques to help you achieve your goals.
