WOOD CRAFTING IN MALMÖ

Welcome to our introduction to woodworking!

Have you ever wanted to start wood working but don’t know where to begin? Do tools make you nervous? Or do you just want to learn the core fundamentals?

Now is your chance to explore the wonderful world of wood craft. In this closely supervised workshop we will learn and use basic hand and power tools to make and build projects that interest you.  The course enables you to independently develop and build projects during class time and the ability to continue with projects at home afterward.  Wood is a wonderful material to work with and will help make your own ideas and wishes come true. You can learn to build everything from cutting boards, wine racks drink and coasters to furniture. It will be up to you.

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE

We accept everyone and this course is suitable for both beginners with zero experience as well as the more experienced.

THE STRUCTURE OF THE COURSE

The starting point in all our courses is folk education pedagogy. In short, it is based on a dialogue between leaders and participants.

The first day will consist of a basic lecture on safety, tools and procedures. Each day after, you will continue to learn new wood craft techniques that will apply to your individual projects. We meet 4 times and the teaching is held over two weeks.  3+ hours during the week and  5+ hours over two Saturdays.

The teaching is adapted to your and the other participants' needs, interests and general background so that the course provides as much benefit as possible. The teaching mainly consists of your own work under the supervision of the course leader. The group consists of a maximum of 8 participants.

MATERIALS

The class will emphasize material re use and you will have access to many saved building materials but there will be more materials available for purchase during the course, for example special hardware or new materials.

Accessibility

The course room is wheelchair accessible. There is a disabled toilet. Portable ear loop are available.  Consider our allergy sufferers - avoid strong scents. Our ambition is for as many people as possible to be able to participate in our courses and use our material.
