I learnt to make a picture frame and I am really happy with how it turned out. The teachers were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. They walked around the class and made sure that everyone was on track. The class was small and fun.

What a great day! My wife and I did the basic woodworking course about making a picture frame. We bought our wedding photo and a 25 year anniversary photo to make a couple of matching frames. Luke was a great teacher, patient and full of knowledge and useful advice. What Harry doesn’t know about wood + more

I completed a Saturday picture framing course instructed by Tassie Luke along with three other people. Despite my total lack of any carpentry or woodworking knowledge whatsoever, Luke’s clear, calm tuition provided me with the confidence that I could keep up with the more woodwork savvy students. + more

The picture framing class and instructor Luke were great - detailed and informative, relaxed and friendly! Excellent introduction to picture framing, excellent tips!

Richard Garner

Very well structured and enjoyable course. Went away feeling like I had the skills to do this myself at home. Very friendly and helpful instructor.

Michelle Golding

Wonderful class! Luke (also) was fantastic, available to help and very explicit and clearly SO knowledgeable about wood working. I learned how to make a frame and the tools, measurements, pitfalls, tips and tricks. The workshop itself was very cool and there was plenty of tools for everyone. I'll be + more

Nikki Waterson

Absolutely loved this class with Luke today. I wanted to build the skills to make floating frames for my stretched canvas paintings at home. I walked away with plenty of new skills and the info on what to adjust from the picture frame to make a floating frame instead. I went along on my own and can't recommend the course enough!

Daniel Fowler

So satisfying to create the picture frame. I enjoyed using the different tools and learning about recycled timber.

Sharon Gerstmeier

I have been to a few courses run by Among the Trees - all have been amazing and this one was no exception. Learning to build picture frames with our teacher Luke was a lot of fun and I came away with heaps of useful woodwork techniques. The class was small enough for everyone to get the attention they + more

Peter Jones

Such a great day! Luke who ran the class was incredibly patient and helpful. I was keen to learn cutting matting, backing and acrylic glazing in addition to woodwork, so I was really pleased this was covered as a core component of the class. Lovely class atmosphere. We were all there solo and was + more

I received this class/voucher as a birthday gift. I enjoyed learning how to make custom picture frames and feel confident to make my own frames and Matt boards. I liked that they use reclaimed materials and recycle timber and other materials where possible, it also means that the pieces you make can + more

Megan Lawrence

I really enjoyed the class - great facilities and enthusiastic and knowledgable teachers - everyone's picture frame projects looked fabulous at the end of the day.

Lisa Tegg

I came to the picture frame making course with zero woodworking experience. I successfully made a beautiful frame for one of my artworks that fitted perfectly. Everything was in alignment and the recycled timber looked wonderful. Speaks for itself the success of the teachers and relaxed welcoming environment.

Kylie O'Brien

I did the framing workshop on Sunday with Luke and Tim and it was so much fun! I made a frame and had no idea whatsoever about the tools or anything - a complete novice. It was a lot to learn but they were brilliant teachers and extremely patient, showing me things multiple times without making me feel + more

Paul Manning

A great day learning new skills. Knowledgeable and patient teachers who were clear with instructions and on hand to assist. Use of reclaimed timber provided insight into challenges with working with wood and problem solving whilst building and assembling picture frame.

Lock Butler

Luke 'Also' and Tim are very personable presenters patient and encouraging. You should point out what to do in case of emergency and where toilet/washing facilities are.

Grania Hickley

Measure twice, think about what you are doing, and cut!! Great day. Exhausting but good. Having two teachers was vital to help all of us translate informatio into action.

Lisa Massey

Awesome class, Tim and Luke were super helpful, informative and patient. Learnt some super helpful tips for putting together frames, being able to watch someone who knew what they were doing made all the difference.

Nick Nicholas

Great introductory workshop. I learnt skills that I can apply regularly. Luke was pretty precise in his teaching and offered information in bite size chunks.

Paul Elliot

Great class, tutors and location. I have a couple of picture framing projects I want to complete, and now have the knowledge.

Poppy Burnett

A wonderfully informative, engaging and thoughtfully put-together class. Great pacing to accommodate people moving at different speeds through various stages of the build without feeling like anything was too slow. Liz’s instructions were very clear and practical. A lovely workshop space too. I’ve + more

Matthew Barram

Completed the picture framing class yesterday and had a great time, learnt so much and came away with a really stunning frame that I'm really happy with. The teaching was clear, well done, in a great space with a great vibe and we'll certainly look at doing other ones of those courses in the future, highly recommend it.

Kate Wake

Really enjoyed Liz’s clear guidance, time management and gentle encouragement. I arrived with a million questions, few skills and big ambitions. Together with Luke, Liz imparted to me tangible skills and a cautious amount of confidence, with consummate ease. I now have a lovely framed picture and + more

Emma Micklewright

Amazing! Very insightful, learned a lot and the teachers were so knowledgeable, kind and patient - a great class!

Sarah Sternau

Excellent class that allowed me to make a beautiful frame while learning woodworking skills that will be transferable across projects. The instructors were both knowledgeable and personable, and I loved hearing about the background of Among the Trees and how they fit into a materials-reuse ecosystem. + more

Luke the teacher was fabulous as always. Well organised, clear communication. Showed each step in the process and answered questions. Luke the assistant was really helpful as well, helped me fix up some dumb mistakes. It was a fun day and everyone in the class was excited! I really enjoyed the day and + more

Ian Macgregor

We are an older couple without experience in woodworking activities, however, we both came away satisfied with our completed picture frames, and we enjoyed the whole experience. Our Teacher, Liz, was very knowledgeable and patient with our progress throughout the day, as was Luke, who also assisted the + more

Matthew Badrov

This course Was A Xmas present from my kids. I loved every step of the process and the day. There was clear concise information and guidance and enthusiasm from the teacher Liz and a lot of patience. Loved the day, went smoothly, lots of support and help and all the equipment I needed.

Richard Nolan-Neylan

Liz was amazing. So was Luke. It could not have been better. What you get out of using reclaimed timber is amazing. Do much better than new wood! You learn so much so definitely worth the money. A great gift idea for anyone.

James Petersen

Luke and Annette managed to fit an enormous amount of teaching into a single day's class. Starting with basic woodworking techniques and ending with cutting matboard and plexiglass (with a discussion on glass cutting), every stage of making a timber frame was covered, including aesthetics. A range of + more
