Beginners' Intensive Programme 


Our 8-week Beginners Intensive Programme is an amazing kick start to your woodworking journey.  This course runs annually and is taught by Lou Fuller with the next course starting in mid-October and participants create four set projects - a mallet, an interlocking puzzle, a wall hanging shelf with drawer and a chair.  You cover a lot of ground in a short space of time - we have space available on this year's programme so get in touch if you are interested in enrolling.
