What the course involves

A two-day general woodwork course with The Green Wood Guild in Tower Hamlets.

What is general woodwork?

A general woodwork course teaches the foundations rather than one craft: measuring and marking, sawing straight, planing flat, cutting a joint that actually closes, and sharpening the tools that do it. It is the right starting point if you are not yet sure which direction you want to go in.

Dates, prices and places are set by The Green Wood Guild, not by us, and can change at any time. Always confirm the details with them before you travel.

Where is it?

It runs in Tower Hamlets, Greater London. The postcode on record is E1 3DG. The exact address is confirmed when you book.

Questions people ask before booking

Do I need to bring my own tools?

The Green Wood Guild does not state on their page whether tools are provided for this course. Ask them before you book, because a hand woodworking course can assume you bring your own.

Is £315 a fair price for this?

Most weekend general woodwork courses on this site cost between £225 and £450. At £315 this one sits around the middle, out of 16 we hold a price for. Price alone will not tell you which suits you: group size and what is included matter as much.

Who do I book with?

You book directly with The Green Wood Guild. Woodwork UK does not take bookings, does not add a fee, and is not paid for the link. They set the dates, the price and the number of places.
