Adult & Child Workshops

Want to spend some quality time together with your child or young person? Want to learn some carpentry skills?

Doing something practical is so important for our mental well-being and creativity. It also teaches important life skills. Because of this we have created various Adult & Child Workshops to give children the opportunity to learn in a safe and fun environment with their adults!

The workshops are:

Hands On – Everybody involved gets to practice tool use and various carpentry techniques safely!

Creative – Children and adults get to see (and share) their results, which in turn helps with confidence!

Innovative – By doing something practical together, new and different ways of learning become available. Everybody involved gets to learn through practical experience!

“It gave my son a great sense of achievement to use the tools and create something himself. It gave me as a parent a great lesson in standing back and trusting. We had a great moment in particular when I pointed out several times I was unsure he was using the square correctly. On the third time he frustratingly told me “Ok mum! And if I do it wrong, I’ll see I’ve made a mistake and I can do it again”. That was such a gift to me in terms of parenting overall.”
