About Us:

This is a small old-fashioned teaching workshop, usually with only four benches, which concentrates on hand skills, patience, understanding and above all practice.  There is no set academic curriculum.  Each student learns at their own pace and the confidence that comes from successfully doing a task is its own reward.

You can come for a half day, a whole day or any amount of time up to a full year course.
