Craft your own DIY planter box

If you love your garden or vegetable patch, those green friends of yours can’t go just anywhere. Get hands-on with your backyard oasis and make special wooden planters to spruce up the place! This woodworking workshop in West Byfleet will guide you through the whole process using different woodworking tools to help you build a planter from scratch.

A lot of trimmed wood surround a plank of wood having a woodworking tool used on it.

The best part is that the basic carpentry skills you pick up at London workshops like these can be easily applied to other beginner woodworking projects you might want to try in the future. This means you’ll walk away with the confidence you need to continue this practical hobby at home!

Woodworking classes in London make great experience gifts for mums and dads with a passion for DIY or pals on the hunt for a new hobby. Think outside the box for birthday and Christmas gifts and give them something new this year with a woodworking experience day!

Learn how to carve a spoon

Ever wanted to make your own spoon to cook delicious meals with? Then this is the woodworking class for you. Guided by Roli in South-East London, you will learn how to carve your very own wooden utensil from scratch. If your drawers are full of spoons already, why not try making a spatula and butter spreader at this wood carving workshop at Stepney City farm with the Green Wood Guild? 

A person measures a piece of wood to use in a DIY craft project.

In both classes, you’ll get to try out the fun and relaxing skill of wood carving with step-by-step guidance from your passionate, local teacher. Once it’s shaped and oiled, you’ll leave this craft class with your very own hand-carved spoon or spatula to use in the kitchen. Or if you’re looking for gifts for couples who love to cook or housewarming presents, this makes for one unique gift!
