Q: What age range is this suitable for?
Generally suitable for ages 8+, as this is typically the age where kids can focus for longer periods, follow instructions safely, and have the coordination and strength needed for woodworking tools. That said, every child is different, and we’ve had younger children join successfully too. If you’re unsure, feel free to message or call us, and we can chat about whether it’s the right fit for your child.
Q: What will the kids learn?
Each session covers practical woodworking skills in a safe, guided environment - tool use, safety, measuring, hand‑skills, and completing simple projects.
Q: Is this suitable for neurodivergent kids?
Yes. We aim to create a calm, supportive, and predictable environment. If your child has particular needs, feel free to message us. We’re happy to make adjustments where we can.
Q: What do we need to bring?
Closed shoes and a water bottle. We provide everything else - tools, materials, and safety gear.
Q: Do different ages work together?
Yes - but each child works at their own level. An 8-year-old and a 16-year-old will be working on different challenges within the same session.
Q: What ages is this class suitable for?
A: 8 to 16 years. Adult accompaniment is not required.
Q: What's the cancellation policy?
A: No cancellations, but free to reschedule up until 5 days before the class

- 5/5 from Tiffany Hill, attended Aug 2026: Our son has been attending woodwork lessons here as part of his homeschool term, and it’s been a great experience. The classes are small, which means the kids get plenty of one-on-one attention. Sindre is a fantastic teacher, very patient, engaging, and great with the kids. Our son comes home genuinely happy and proud, with that satisfying feeling of having put in a solid day of hard work. Highly recommended for any homeschool families looking for practical, hands-on learning of real-life skills.
- 5/5 from Lauren Bradshaw, attended Aug 2026: My son absolutely loves his weekly woodworking classes. Sindre has created such a welcoming, calm and creative environment. He instills so much confidence in the kids, listening to their design ideas and entrusting them to undertake the work, guiding without overtaking. I’m so grateful to have him impart his skills and knowledge to my son.
- 5/5 from Katrina Baker, attended Aug 2026: Host is really good The atmosphere is great
- 5/5 from Josie Song, attended Aug 2026: My daughter has just started the weekly woodworking classes and it’s quickly become the highlight of her week! She has so much pride in her first creation, and loves the creative freedom. Sindre has created a beautiful environment for the kids.

- 5/5 from Anne Zwahlen, attended Jul 2026: My son absolutely loves this woodworking workshop. He enjoys the creativity of taking an idea and turning it into something real with his own hands. The guidance is excellent, and having a positive male mentor who leads with patience, skill, and encouragement has been incredibly valuable. He always looks forward to going, and comes home feeling proud, confident, and genuinely happy with what he's created. I highly recommend this workshop.

- 5/5 from Lara Baggott, attended Jun 2026: My 12 year old son has absolutely LOVED - learning and creating at Ask & Embla - truly wonderful and can't wait to go back. Making something himself from a block of wood with the real tools, perfect. Sindre is encouraging and a great teacher. We are so glad to have found Ask & Embla. Thank you! PS: My son said the worst thing was when I arrived to pick him up, that the time flew by and he wished he could come again the next day.
- 5/5 from Dominik Zielke, attended Jun 2026: Woodworking is an absolutely fantastic program -everything about it is top-notch. The host is incredibly engaging, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in woodworking!
- 5/5 from Amber Gabriel, attended May 2026: Our homeschool Group had a wonderful day, they enjoyed their first project (a beautiful spatula) and can’t wait to come back and continue with more woodwork. The space is great, Sindre is calm and helpful and they even had homemade food delivered by Rika!
- 5/5 from Chantelle Stewart, attended May 2026: My son has joined the weekly after school woodworking classes and absolutely loves them! When I picked him up after his first session he asked if we could go back the following day because he absolutely loved it!'
Your teacher
Sindre is a Norwegian maker, tinkerer, and parent, with a background in engineering and community programs. After stepping away from corporate life, he chose to focus on what mattered most to him: working with his hands, sharing his passion for woodworking, and helping children experience the satisfaction of creating something real.Sindre believes woodworking is more than making objects. It’s about slowing down, problem-solving, and building confidence through doing. As a parent, he understands that children learn best when they’re given time, guidance, and space to explore.Sessions follow Scandinavian principles of simplicity and functionality. Children work independently but with guidance, developing patience, attention to detail, and practical skills in a small, supportive group.Sindre holds a current Working With Children Check, ensuring every session is safe, welcoming, and thoughtfully run.
