What to expect from the sessions

In these hands-on classes, you will explore a wide range of restoration and woodworking techniques, from patching wood or veneer to traditional gluing and finishing methods.

You bring a piece of furniture or an object that matters to you. Together, we assess its condition, plan the steps, and work through the restoration process with professional guidance.

No prior experience is required.

How It Works

Each session lasts three hours and is held in small groups of up to four people.

Please send us a picture of the object you wish to work on. We will advise how many hours it might take, and if we can not accommodate your request, we will offer you a similar object from the workshop to practice skills

You’ll receive individual guidance, working at your own pace
and progressing week by week.

All levels are welcome – from beginners to experienced woodworkers.
