Want to learn how to use power tools, find materials, and build things?
We want to share these skills with you, for free!
This introductory session will cover sourcing surplus timber, treating it to make it useable, basic tool use and carpentry techniques, and approaches to building some simple garden furniture.
Working with reclaimed timber not only reduces waste, but also creates great opportunities for artistic creation in garden and furniture design. You will be amazed at what’s possible - seating and social spaces, water-efficient planters, pergolas, and limitless other options!
Suitable for ages 16+. Safety equipment will be provided but sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate clothing advised. All tools and tuition provided, you just need to turn up!

NOTE: WoRD Introductory Sessions are here to support people who have no/limited experience with woodworking and tools. At this workshop we will guide you through tool use and safety, all the way to building a project as a group. The completed project will then go to support one of our many community garden partners.
The workshop will begin at 12pm - please arrive on-time!
After attending a WoRD Introductory session you'll be ready to attend a 'Next Steps' Workshop, where we will help you begin your own timber project, and you can continue to use the workshop for free at our Open Sessions.
