Top 10 Best Woodworking classes, courses, learnings kits and gifts in the UK

Graeme and Ed were brilliant in teaching the wood working techniques, using the tools and helping to craft our wooden bowls. We thoroughly enjoyed the day. We cannot wait to book the spoon making session. Highly recommend.

Really enjoyed the course. Great location, easy to find, spacious workshop and very clear instructions from Dan. The only thing I would have liked more of would be on techniques for the colouring of the resin.

Had such a great afternoon at London Green Wood! Thank you Andrea for being such a great teacher really enjoyed the course

Great day learning some new skills in a relaxed and friendly environment!

The teacher, Alex, is helpful, kind, and has a lot of work experience. He also provides all the necessary tools and information. He has a long experience in this work. He is a genius, and I am grateful to him. I really enjoyed attending the workshop with teacher Alex. I also made a beautiful piece. Best Regards Haya

I had a great time making a breadboard and learned lots of new skills

A really fantastic course, with passionate tutors that are generous with their knowledge and very gentle. The location is perfect and a insight to a lovely community. The course structure is perfect, ending in a gentle spoon carving after a more physical day of learning how to use the lathe. Tips and tricks make you feel quickly confident using sharp tools and get into a meditative state surrounded by likeminded and supportive people! Thank you - i cant wait to return!

So happy after part 1 & 2, professional teachers, lovely workshop academy 1 I recomand !!!

I enjoyed the workshop very much with the teacher Alex, and I did not feel that time passed very quickly. I learned important points about the work of reson, epoxy, and hardener. I hope to continue this journey of education...in the near future.. The teacher, Alex, is helpful, kind, and has a lot of work experience. He also provides all the necessary tools and information. He has a long experience in this work. He is a genius, and I am grateful to him..

Ben was a really patient teacher, and not only showed us how to use the relevant tools, he also provided very interesting and informative background on green wood working. He struck a great balance between not being hand-holding, whilst being always available for us to ask questions / help when we needed it. Even though I was a bit apprehensive going into the course, and this was definitely outside of my comfort zone, this was a fantastic experience and truly suitable for a complete beginner. Thanks so much Ben and we'll definitely be sending family & friends your way!

Really enjoyed the class - clear and helpful instructions in a very calm environment. The carving itself was very therapeutic.

Brilliant. Really enjoyed the 6 weeks and Ben was great! Highly recommend.

A really warm, fun and friendly workshop. This was a great experience to share with friends and family.

Imagine a day filled with laughter, camaraderie, and the satisfying accomplishment of transforming a simple log into a beautiful spoon. That's exactly what I experienced with Bristol Tree Craft! Hugh and Ben, our expert instructors, led our group on a journey into the world of green woodworking. The atmosphere crackled with a sense of shared purpose as we learned the traditional techniques. Each step, from wielding hand tools to shaping the raw wood, felt empowering. But the experience wasn't just about the craft itself. Lunchtime brought us together, fostering a sense of community as we shared stories and fueled up for the afternoon's creations. By the end of the day, we weren't just leaving with handcrafted spoons, but with a newfound appreciation for the connection between nature, creativity, and human connection. It was a truly enriching experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a day filled with fun, learning, and a dash of accomplishment.

Excellent class! Dan was a great tutor breaking down concepts, keeping us engaged with questions, giving clear guidance and helpful corrections for a safe and enjoyable hands-on experience.

A really lovely day spent in Terry’s envy-inducing workshop. We were very pleased with our bowls. One of us was a total beginner and Terry was patient and kind as I got to grips with the tools. The more experienced of the two of us learnt new skills and tips for future projects. Terry was very hospitable and a pleasure to have teach us. Highly recommend.

The one to one class was excellent and very instructive. The bowl turned out well and I felt I had learned a lot. Terry was avery good teacher

Had a great class and lots of fun. A very relaxed but informative session and made some lovely pieces of art which I can’t wait to put up at home! Thank you

We had such a great time at our class, brilliant tutors and such a warm & friendly atmosphere! Couldn’t recommend more!

Really enjoyable course with a very friendly and welcoming environment
