A two-day furniture making course with The Rivershop in Greenwich. The Rivershop say it suits beginners and people with some experience.
Tools and materials are included in the price.
What is furniture making?
Furniture making covers everything from a first small cabinet to full-time training. Expect hand tools and machines together, and real time spent on joints, because a piece of furniture is mostly the quality of how it is held together. Short courses build one defined object; longer ones teach the process so you can design your own.
Dates, prices and places are set by The Rivershop, not by us, and can change at any time. Always confirm the details with them before you travel.

Questions people ask before booking
Do I need to bring my own tools?
The Rivershop says tools and materials are provided for this furniture making course, so you should not need to bring your own. Confirm with them when you book, as kit lists change.
Is it suitable for a complete beginner?
Yes. The Rivershop bills this course as suiting people starting from scratch as well as those with some experience who want to develop further, so a mixed-ability group is expected.
Is £350 a fair price for this?
Most weekend furniture making courses on this site cost between £275 and £380. At £350 this one sits around the middle, out of 8 we hold a price for. Price alone will not tell you which suits you: group size and what is included matter as much.
