Sign up for this workshop and experience the joy of working with wood yourself. During the workshop, you will engage in fine woodworking. Unlike carpentry where you use nails and a hammer, you will work primarily with chisels and a saw.

Working with wood brings together craftsmanship, creativity, and skill. It starts with selecting the right piece of wood, with the scent of freshly cut timber stimulating your senses. You then transform this natural material using tools and techniques, with each chisel stroke and saw cut revealing more of your project or piece of furniture.

Not only will you derive satisfaction from your own creation, but the birds in the garden will also enjoy the results!

Peter Pothoven is a vocational teacher of furniture making at Het Ambachtshuis Brabant in Den Bosch.
