Kids at Two Sheds
We have after school and home school weekly classes and holiday workshops for girls and boys ages 7 through to teenagers. Our amazing teachers don’t just teach them woodwork skills but help kids bring their imaginations alive building things with wood. Puppets, boats, birdhouses, Nordic swords, shields, clocks, and even furniture as their skills develop over time.
Women at Two Sheds
All the projects for our workshops and classes are designed for those with or without experience in woodwork or building. They are designed for you to learn skills as you build your project and to turn out fabulously so you take home something you will be totally proud of. We teach in ways that encourage you, develop your confidence to have a go yourself, demystify all things woodwork and generally make you feel more empowered in the ways of working wood and building things.
