Join award winning designer, maker and Farmer’s Arms workshop manager Tom Philipson as he guides you through this one day shelf building workshop.
Are you running out of shelf space and reluctant to de-clutter? Are piles of your beloved books and old and questionable CD’s piling high on the floor? Obviously the solution is stylish new shelves!
Using everyday, easily obtainable materials, you will create a unique multi-platformed shelf for your home. Workshop manager Tom Philipson will be on hand to take you through a variety of basic woodworking techniques to develop and finish your shelf in a day.
This workshop will take you step by step through the process of designing, building and finishing your shelf in a day and wield you with the skills and knowledge to realise future self build projects.
If our workshops take your fancy, but you’re not local to The Farmer’s Arms, we have accommodation so you can make a weekend out of your visit. The Farmer’s Barn is our self-catering hostel perfect for solo travellers and The Farmer’s Loft is our spacious six person apartment situated above the workshop.
You’ll learn:
- How everyday materials can be transformed into functional objects through clever design
- A wide variety of basic woodworking techniques
- A range of finishing techniques
