STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

It’s hard to describe just how special this experience was. The peaceful bush setting, the rhythmic sounds of hand tools, and Matt’s gentle guidance made the whole day feel like a retreat for the soul.

I came away not just with a stool, but with a new way of seeing wood. The workshop is magic—birds singing, tea shared under the trees, and a feeling of being part of something timeless.
— Jonathon, Furniture Making Course
Matt creates a space where learning feels natural and joyful. The tools, the process, the forest—it all came together beautifully. I left feeling more confident, more creative, and more connected.
— Priya, Chair Course
The sharpening workshop opened my eyes to the care that tools deserve. I’ve started appreciating the craft so much more, and now sharpening is something I enjoy rather than avoid!
