  • 5/5 from Tam Phan, attended Mar 2026: We took our son to the Noughts & Crosses class and it was great! The class was small and Noel the instructor was really good and explaining things to the kids (and parents alike).
  • 5/5 from Marcus Booth, attended Oct 2024: The class was just right to engage and train young minds in the basics of woodworking. Luke was a great teacher and the kids all had fun, adults too. Would love to do again as voted by a 9yr old.
  • 5/5 from Joy Ankey-Jarvis, attended Oct 2024: The words of my 9 year old - it was really fun because we tried the mega ramp and learnt about new tools. The teacher was helpful. Two thumbs up, I would go again.

Among the Trees

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!
