You will start all the way from "raw" wood, producing your own woodturning stock. Next, you will measure and mark the location of the mortises in the seat, drill the mortises, and prepare the seat to be turned. You'll turn the seat and the three legs, working to precise dimensions for the tenons which will secure the legs to the seat. Finally, you will sand, assemble, and finish your project before taking it home! By the end of the course, you will have... - Created a turning project from scratch - Used essential shop equipment (machines, hand and power tools) with an emphasis on woodturning - Learned and understood the difference between cross-grain ("bowl") and spindle turning - Made a beautiful project to proudly display in your home!

Most group activities are just there to tick a box. Right now, everything is fast, digital, and noisy. People spend their days reacting instead of focusing. At some point, it catches up. Spoon carving does the opposite. You sit down, take a piece of wood, and work it into something useful. It requires attention. You can’t rush it, and you can’t fake it. After a few minutes, the room changes—people slow down, focus, and start talking without forcing it. We don’t overcomplicate it. We show you how to use the tools safely and let you get on with it. No scripts, no gimmicks. It works just as well for teams, friends, families, or anyone who wants to do something real for a few hours. You leave with a spoon. More importantly, you leave feeling like your brain actually switched off for a bit.

Spend an evening or afternoon with your friends and family making a stunning bud vase out of noble wood. In this session you will discover what a wood workshop looks like from the inside, you will get to use some tools and basic machines with the guidance of our experienced intructors. You select an initially uninteresting piece of wood that needs to be processed into a presentable product via using tools and machines, ending with the finishing products to put on for preserving the surface. The result is very satisfying. We recommend this activity for those who'd like to spend some time differently tapping into their creative spirit.

PLEASE NOTE: 1) THIS IS A FOUR SESSION COURSE. When booking, you will only see the starting date. Please check the full schedule before signing up. 2) FOR THIS COURSE, WOOD IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PRICE. This is due to large variations in cost depending on board size, thickness, and type of wood. You will be given a large choice of woods to select from and the freedom to define your board size, within the machines' limits. The material cost can range anywhere between 20 chf for smaller boards with more affordable woods to 100 chf for larger boards in expensive woods. ABOUT: A high quality cutting board can really elevate the home cooking experience to a new level. And when you've made that board yourself, you can take pride in your work with every meal you prepare for yourself, family, or guests. BENEFITS OF AN END-GRAIN CUTTING BOARD: - Made from a safe material (ditch the plastic!) - Resistant to wear & tear - Your knives stay sharper for longer - Makes an excellent gift for just about anyone! WHAT YOU WILL DO: - Select your preferred wood (walnut, maple, cherry, mahogany, and more) - Define your cutting board's dimensions - Learn to use essential woodworking machines safely and achieve a reliable result - Understand how to plan and adjust the design of your board - And, of course, make your very own end-grain cutting board!

We admit, it took us long to come up with less technical woodworking activity that serves a socialising opportunity as well as a grounding experience. Why is this so special? You make a comfort bird, or other animal with one single tool. It's a seated activty and you will be served a glass of Prosecco and nibbles to leave the office hurdle behind, meet fellow spirits who value new activites, and above all you'll leave with a nicely finished comfort bird. It's ergonomic to hold and serves a grounding tool when overwhelmed, anxious or stressed. Come with you friends, or family. The more the merrier as the days are getting short
