Join us in the Sebastian Cox workshop in Margate this autumn and learn how to make your own wooden keep-sake box to take home, using British wood and traditional hand tools.
Led by Sebastian, an award-winning furniture designer, maker and environmentalist known for his sustainable, zero-waste approach to craftsmanship, this day class is perfect for anyone interested in making something beautiful, simple and functional, with no previous woodworking experience necessary.
As well as sharing an introduction to timber technology, Seb will invite you to choose from a selection of British-grown wood and teach you how to:
Lay out dovetails using a marking knife and square
Cut to a line with a dovetail saw
Pare with a chisel
Use a block plane
Cut rebates with a router
Sand and finish your box before taking it home
You will need:
Comfortable clothes and shoes that you don’t mind getting a bit dusty
It’s sensible to tie hair back and avoid dangly jewellery or accessories
Patience and enthusiasm
Sweeping and tea making skills are desirable but not essential
Following a series of workshops hosted in our former London workshop, this experience returns for a limited number of dates in our new Margate workshop this year. All tools will be provided and a delicious lunch served around the table in our welcoming studio space.
If purchasing the workshop as a gift, let us know, as we can post you a special printed gift voucher in an unmarked envelope to share with a loved one.
