INTRODUCTION TO THE WOOD WORKSHOP

Under the guidance of our experienced instructor, our very popular introductory series covers a range of woodworking equipment found in our wood workshop. It's suitable for beginners or anyone wishing to upskill and gain confidence, particularly in power-tools and machinery.

Each workshop session offers the chance to use a range of equipment in a supportive, friendly setting while doing good for the community building items to support the work of our partner, Urban Ark - Manawa Taiao. All materials and equipment are provided.
