NEW! Our Flagship 2 week comprehensive furniture making program .
The “Art of Furniture making is a time honoured trade that embodies all the hallmarks of fine craftsmanship and design.
Those hallmarks or corner stones of the more recently labelled “makers space” are essentially about design, creativity, innovation, complexity, utility and detail.
