Brought to you by Auckland Council Waste Solutions!

Join us for a five week journey into wooden furniture upcycling and restoration. Everything you need will be supplied, and you’re welcome to bring a small project of your own to work on throughout the course.

You’ll learn the four key steps of restoring wooden furniture:
Strip, Sand, Stain and Seal.

We’ll cover the full range of tools and products, talk through how to handle breaks, cracks and borer, then get started on your individual projects. Please bring a small item such as a bedside table or set of drawers made from solid, simple timber. Harder or native woods are ideal rather than pine.

Important notes

• Please arrive on time for the health and safety briefing.
• Bring your own rubber gloves.
• This workshop is for adults only due to safety requirements.
• Bring a small practice piece rather than something precious. All items go home with you after each session.
• Wear covered shoes and fitted clothing. Some activities may take place outside, so bring a sun hat and sunscreen if needed.
• Wear old clothes and bring a water bottle and snacks.

When: 6 September to 4 October, 9.30 am - 12.30pm

Where: The ReCreators Greenspace, 135 Chamberlain Road, Massey.

Important Notes

Parking: please note that we have parking available just inside the gate at Chamberlain Rd. Please do not drive past the gravel and onto the concrete area.
