The course is designed for people with an interest in woodworking as a hobby, or that are exploring the possibility of taking up furniture making as a career. The aim of the course is to provide the students with a range of basic skills to be able to satisfactorily undertake small projects.

The students will proceed through a series of structured exercises to master basic skills in hand and power techniques. As their ability progresses they will move on to a simple item of furniture (usually a small table) or to projects of their own design at the tutor’s discretion.

Successful candidates will be able to progress to the Furniture Workshop (Intermediate/Advanced) or to the day time Furniture Craft Courses.
