Practical woodworking & furniture-making courses in Camden (run by the London School of Furniture Making).
We’re often asked where people can learn to work with wood properly. Right next door to our Camden workshop, the London School of Furniture Making run practical, hands-on courses in a real workshop environment.
We’ve known the team there for years, so it’s good to working alongside them.
