Meet Harry and Johanna, the dynamic duo behind Variegate. Harry hails from south London, where he mastered his skills as a joiner, while Johanna, originally from the Philippines, brings a background in props and special effects to the mix. Together, they're passionate about crafting stunning wooden pieces that are both beautiful and unique. What sets them apart is their commitment to ethical and sustainable practices -- they're dedicated to using recycled and reclaimed wood, giving forgotten materials a new lease on life. In each class you will be using offcuts from furniture projects to create your unique pieces of work.
Empowering others to create with their own hands is something Harry and Johanna both find incredibly fulfilling. Stepping into their studio, tucked away at the end of a garden, you'll find a vibrant workshop filled with tools and stacks of reclaimed wood -- a space where creativity thrives, and old materials find new purpose. With a shared passion for detail, Variegate will help you infuse each piece with your unique personality whilst making sure you can craft it yourself to the best of your ability. They pour their hearts into every creation, ensuring that each item is crafted with meticulous care and attention.
Together, Harry and Johanna are not only skilled artisans but also dedicated educators and champions of sustainable craftsmanship. Their love for woodworking shines through in every piece they create, and they're eager to share their expertise with fellow woodworking enthusiasts.
