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

Thank you to Mark, Tim and Ren for your passion, patience and generosity in helping each of us turn an aspiration into reality. I loved the weekend, and am so thrilled to have my ‘Me Made’ chair in my home where I will see it everyday and remind myself what I can achieve. My Dad would have loved + more

Joanne Upton

So awesome... great instructors, brilliant space, learnt loads and am inspired to try more. Loved it!

Tanya Baily

I was interested to get a glimpse of what upholstery was about and gained a broader view than expected. Ren, our teacher, shared his deep knowledge and enthusiasm for the craft, as well as managing an efficiently structured class. We learnt skills and tips as we completed making our stools, guided patiently + more

Linden Dryburgh

A wonderful day making the stool. A great teacher with Ren. Patient and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

Jen Bradley

Fantastic class! Ren was a fabulous teacher, and a lovely group of people. Great way to do something creative and learn new skills.

Kate Dowling

Really enjoyed the class. The number of participants allowed sufficient 1:1 time with Luke our instructor, with lots of handy tips and tricks (or fixes!) along the way. A great experience and love what we were able to take away from the day in terms of new skills, experience and the finished stool. Highly recommend

Robert Bryce

It was a great day of starting to learn a new skill. It was a very physical day, I think I wove about 50 metres of cord! Lots of fun, great environment and Luke was an excellent and engaging teacher.

John Ruperto

No special occasion. How to weave a stool and the teacher was GREAT. Participants were very friendly and shared the experience. I liked the shed and all the interesting gear.

Jodi Sweetbaum

We loved the class - Luke was a fantastic instructor, patient, smart, warm and incredibly knowledgeable. He was also a pleasure to spend the day with. We are thrilled with our stools. We are very impressed with how committed they are to sustainability and helping the community.

Sarah Brighton-Hall

Thoroughly enjoyed this class! My friend and I had an awesome time, got to learn something new in an encouraging and supportive environment, and our instructor Nick was just awesome - very knowledgeable, helpful, and adjusted beautifully to everyone’s learning styles and how much support each person + more

Thea Schmertmann

I had a fantastic time carving a spoon and learning about woody weeds from Brad! He was extremely knowledgeable and provided expert guidance throughout the class, helping me whenever I had a bit of trouble with a step. I learnt a wide range of techniques in the class and feel confident about pursuing + more

Brad Estrich

This spoon calving workshop was really fun and informative. Brad really knows his craft. I’ll be doing more courses here

Sara Kelly

I was looking for a woodwork course and a coffee table; this course was perfect. We were taught not only what to do but why we do it that way, it was a lot more meaningful beyond just putting pieces together. Tim and Mark are excellent teachers. They approach things differently but respectfully share + more

Gordon Rowell

Excellent course - Mark and Tim were great guides through all of the steps. Every one of the eight tables in the class looked fabulous at the end. It's wonderful to start by selecting from wood that was saved from being dumped to end up with a stunning piece of furniture.

Sirria Li

Great course! Mark and Tim were very knowledgeable and supportive. Both encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and use some intimidating power tools. Such a great learning environment where students and teachers were all helping each other out. All the table tops came out beautifully!! Tiring but very worth it

Latifah Jackson-Vaughan

Fantastic class! I learnt so much and everything was so well explained that it really made sense why each step was done the way it was and in that order. Kazu and Shane were so helpful and supportive! Love my little step stool so much!

Rebecca Denham

It was very well delivered and an enjoyable day. t h a n k s

Scott

Thanks Sean for taking us through the class to create our own wooden spatula! Sean's expertise and passion was obvious to all, his many helpful tips & advice ensured that we all walked away with our own creation. Would highly recommend!

Raquel Azzopardi

Great day out with my son. Loved learning and building... thanks Luke for being so patient

Jane McKie

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

Pip Glinn

We had so much fun learning new skills and tools, Shane was a great teacher and ensured to check in and help when we needed it. I love that they use reclaimed materials. I now have a wooden spatula that was once someone's garden decking!

Ilektra Spandagou

We really enjoyed the class. The instructors were engaging, the session was well structured with a lot of individual support. I attended with my teen son and we had a great time.

Jennifer Huby

Fabulous Sunday morning making our spatulas with great teachers and a great atmosphere amongst the trees

Lindy Baker

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

Honora Jenkins

Loved everything about the short 3 hour woodworking class. Teachers were great. Explained everything well and were on hand to help. My favourite thing was seeing the reclaimed peice of decking slowly morph into a one of a kind wooden spatula.

Anurati Krishnamurthy

Tim is a passionate and supportive teacher who makes woodworking feel accessible and achievable. He clearly demonstrated how to create beautiful furniture using just a small set of hand tools, which was both inspiring and empowering. I especially appreciated his focus on reclaimed wood and the sustainable + more

Xeni Kusumitra

This is a wonderful course to learn basic woodworking skills and go home with a small stylish table. I learnt lots of tips and tricks. Tim, the teacher, was very helpful and observant. His encouragement helped me enjoy learning very much. I learnt what hand tools to buy to start making simple pieces + more

Hester Raijmakers

Fabulous class, can't believe we made an incredibly beautiful piece of furniture in 2 days. Tim our instructor was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, generous with his time and skills...I can't recommend this course more highly!! Will be back

Anne Jackson

I really enjoyed Nick’s whittling class. We ranged from complete novices to a carpenter, and he was really good at answering all levels of questions. I really surprised myself and ended up whittling a dog that actually looks like a dog! Highly recommended!

Matt Stanton

Nick is a fantastic instructor. Very patient and knowledgeable with easy to follow instructions..

Sass Hunt

Fun class and the planters we took home look amazing! Definitely feel more confident using power tools now. I personally would have liked more opportunities to practice saw skills vs drill/driver skills but that's because I had previous experience using those tools - it's probably the right balance if + more

Tam Phan

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).

Jacqui Harkin

Loved the class, such a great hands on experience, would highly recommend. Luke the teacher was great.

Caitlin Summers

Great class. Clear instructions and enough time set aside to not feel rushed. Was very happy with the end product and would do another class for sure.

George Eassey

Instructor was patient and informative. Gave feedback on the work and leads on how to make it better.

Shin Dar Long

Shane was clear, concise and obviously had the relevant skills to teach the course. He answered the questions put to him succinctly as well as providing relevant, related fun facts. I learnt more than I anticipated about French polishing. The hands on aspect with the participants working on different + more

Barbara Jackson

Great day. Lovely group. Shane is so knowledgeable and a fantastic teacher. I learned so much about French polishing and am so happy with what a made. It is actually really good. I'm keen to press on with my home projects now.

Scott McDougall

Terrific course. Shane explained each step clearly and expertly. I enjoyed it very much.

Katherine Dale

I had the absolutely best day ever doing the introduction to cord weaving. Luke is the most patient and generous teacher imaginable and the experience and end result greatly exceeded my expectations. Am already planning my next course :)

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.

Gabi Head-Gray

Shane was a great teacher and confidence booster for a beginner like me! Super informative, clear and helpful instruction and I got to go home with a beautiful piece :)

Amelia Carew-Reid

Brad is a great teacher and it was a really fun afternoon. Time flew by and we all left with our own spoon.

Caroline Pace

Brad was great, super interesting and learnt so much. Would definitely recommend and try other classes!

Lindy Bestic

Shane was great and explained things clearly. I really enjoyed the class and came home with a beautiful spatula.

Wilhelm Bulathsinhala

It was amazing. Brad was a great teacher, he was very knowledgeable and made sure to come around to help individual students. I would definitely go to another workshop.

Lucy Allen

We had such a great experience! We loved Brad and how he led us through the workshop. We would have enjoyed a little less information about land regeneration at the start, to allow more time for discussing carving technique and working on the spoons. Other than that, everything was wonderful.

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

Paul Milton

Tim was a super knowledgeable and friendly guy, learnt a lot about hardwood and how to use it. Was a very hands on course, loved it.
