What you'll do

Join us for a hands-on workshop in Sydney where you’ll learn the art of Danish cord weaving while crafting your own beautifully designed stool. Choose between two course formats, each offering a unique opportunity to develop your skills and create a stunning, functional piece for your home.

Two-Day Course: Master the Craft

In this in-depth experience, you'll weave a Pi-style stool crafted from reclaimed Australian hardwood—a refined piece inspired by Scandinavian and Japanese design. The extended format allows time to refine techniques and complete an heirloom-quality stool that seamlessly blends elegance and function.

One-Day Course: A Beautiful Introduction

Perfect for those looking to dive into Danish cord weaving, this course provides a comprehensive foundation in the craft while guiding you through the creation of a stylish and practical stool. Designed to be completed in a day, this workshop balances accessibility with craftsmanship, ensuring you leave with a beautifully woven seat and the confidence to continue exploring the technique.

Both courses emphasise hands-on learning under the guidance of skilled facilitators, with a focus on craftsmanship, safety, and practical techniques. By the end, you'll take home a handwoven stool and a deeper appreciation for this timeless skill.

Please note: Public dates for this class require at least 5 guests to run. In the unlikely event that we don't reach this number, we'll cancel the class; in this case we'll inform you and allow you to get a refund or reschedule, so please watch your email/SMS one day prior to the class.

An appreciation of the value of second-hand materials and hand-making practices.

Among the Trees is an ethical and sustainability based start-up for reclaimed timber located in Marrickville.

Saving timber from demolitions or other discarded uses and making it available to the public through a retail timber shop and woodworking classes. Accessibility to wood doesn't just mean being wheelchair friendly (which we are), it also means helping customers understand how to use and source reclaimed timber. To make it as easy as possible to work with, we offer custom machining and glueing, so the timber in our store can be squared, resurfaced and cut to specific dimensions. We also help empower individuals to have the confidence to undertake woodworking projects by offering woodworking beginners classes that are taught with simple hand tools.

Lumberyards and wood workshops can be intimidating sometimes, ATT is one of the few places that caters not only to architects, planners, homeowners as well as carpenters and tradespeople but also to customers that have little to no woodworking experience and are embarking on DIY and student projects or trying their hand at repair, renovating or building.

Our workshop at Among The Trees is set up to be the perfect space to learn about hand tools, reclaimed timber, and woodworking. We’ve been hard at work collecting, restoring and tuning all the tools required to learn woodworking, and a few extra ones as well.

All-in-all, everyone that is interested in wood is welcome!
