Questions people ask about Sheffield
What kinds of woodwork can you learn in Sheffield?
The most common here are woodturning (4), general woodwork (2) and wood carving (1). These are hobby and craft courses, not trade qualifications.
How long are the courses in Sheffield?
4 of the 8 courses here state a length, and they are 1 day (2) and 2 days (2). The other 4 do not say, so check the provider's own page before you plan around it.
Where in Sheffield are the courses?
Every one of them is in Sheffield. We name the place we hold a course for even when it is a single village, because that is often where the good workshops are.
How do I book a course in Sheffield?
You book with the maker, not with us. All 8 courses here link straight to the provider's own page. Woodwork UK takes no booking, adds no fee and is not paid for the link, and all 3 makers and schools set their own dates, prices and places.
What to know before you book in Sheffield
What you will actually pay
The middle price in Sheffield is £125. That is below the £176 we see across the UK as a whole, so if you have been comparing against national figures you may find it goes further here. Of the 7 courses here that publish a price, 1 is under £75, 3 are between £75 and £150 and 3 are between £150 and £300.
The number on its own tells you less than you would think. At the bottom of the range you are usually buying an evening or a half day, working on something small that you take home the same night. In the middle you get a full day, your own bench and enough time to make a mistake and put it right, which is the part that actually teaches you something. Above that you are into weekends and multi-week courses where the point stops being the object and starts being the skill.
What gets taught here, and what does not
The most common thing taught in Sheffield is woodturning, on 4 of the 8 courses we hold. After that it is general woodwork (2), wood carving (1) and pyrography (1).
Worth saying plainly: general woodwork, wood carving and pyrography are thin on the ground here, with three courses or fewer between them. If that is the specific thing you want to learn, you will have more choice looking further afield than waiting for something local to appear. We would rather tell you that than pad the page.
Who is teaching
3 makers and schools teach in Sheffield. The three busiest, Turners Retreat, Ed's Workshop and Michael Williams Wood, run 100% of the courses here between them. The rest are smaller workshops running a handful of courses a year. If group size matters to you, ask before booking, because we do not hold it and the number varies by course rather than by workshop.
We take nothing from any of them. No one has paid to appear on this page, nobody can pay to move up it, and every link goes to the workshop's own booking page rather than through us. If a course is full or the date has moved, they will know and we will not, so it is always worth asking them directly.
