Maximum of 3 students per class or individual tuition with an experienced teacher and professional cabinet maker.
Whether you are looking to try a new activity or improve your existing woodwork skills, I offer short courses using traditional cabinet making techniques (fine woodworking) for absolute beginners upwards.
My rural workshop in Ashley, Cheshire is the perfect place for you to get away from everyday life and absorb yourself in working with a most rewarding natural material. You will get plenty of one to one time as the spacious workshop is equipped to train up to a maximum of three students at a time. If you’d like to tailor a course to your needs, you can also arrange bespoke sessions.
There’s an abundance of training available online, however the quickest way from A to B is often with a trained professional to guide you and correct your technique. The courses I run are designed to help you learn how to problem solve so that you can work with precision when the task requires it. Some of the courses are project based so you will come away with a beautiful finished piece at the end of our time together.
Our negative beliefs often stop us from making progress in life; “I’m not creative”, “I’m not good with my hands”, “I have no patience”, “It has to be perfect”.
These are some of the things that I hear students say about learning new skills and it’s always very heart-warming to see their attitudes change by the end of the courses I run. Taking a material and transforming its use and appearance with the aid of tools is such an absorbing and rewarding process. By allowing oneself to make mistakes and learn from them, it nurtures a change in the things we tell ourselves which helps us make improvements in other aspects of our lives.
