a personal touch

Coaching

Some time ago an instrument maker from Scotland came to visit. He asked if we could coach him through the green woodworking process. He wanted to make a chair of his own design. He came and went over several months and left behind a masterpiece. (There was no room for it in his backpack.)

We've had many a student, for various reasons, favour personal coaching.

If you have a special need or project in mind that doesn't quite fit with our program of courses, please let us know.

Commissions and constructions

Occasionally clients ask if we can build something for them or coach them through a bespoke building project. If you have a design in mind or would value ideas but don't have the time or inclination to create it, we'd be delighted to help out.

Team building and professional development

And what a fun two days it will be…

Green woodworking transports your people into a foreign and very special learning space. They step towards, or perhaps leap to, greater insight into their personal and professional worlds.

Allow us to facilitate an experience where your people become grounded, feel OK making and learning from their mistakes, unlearn unhelpful beliefs, and leave empowered and energised.

Shows and events

Several times each year we run green woodworking displays at shows. The photo on the right is at the Australian Wooden Boat Festival. 

If you have an event that would suit a green woodworking display, \We'd welcome your call.

School groups

Often we have school groups visit the workshop and try their hand at green woodworking. Several home-schooled young people have come on courses, too.

Our aim is for kids to feel so engaged in the workshop that they don't feel a need to use their mobile phones. We've had some challenges but as yet all the kids have remained engaged. Some kids have said it's the best thing they have done in all their years of going school.
