6 hours Location Kingston upon Thames Class size 1 to 5 (public classes), 1 to 4   £180

If you're searching for creative things to do in West Byfleet, why not unleash your inner carpenter with the help of an expert woodworking craftsman David Free?
In this woodworking class, you'll learn all of the tips, tricks and techniques you need to construct and upholster a beautiful footstool with a lifting lid and plenty of hidden storage space.
Your teacher will provide all of the tools and equipment, so all you need to bring is a willingness to get creative and a metre of your favourite fabric to add a unique finishing touch to your piece!
Don't worry if you've never attempted your own woodworking projects before, as class sizes are deliberately kept small to allow for one-to-one support and guidance throughout the experience.
At the end of this beginners' woodworking class, you'll have a new set of practical skills and a handcrafted footstool, ready to take home and finish off with a lick of paint.

  • 5/5 from Sydney Yoshida, attended Jun 2026: Really enjoyed the whole day at the great British workshop!
  • 5/5 from Rebecca Harvey, attended Jan 2023: This was a great workshop. All materials (except a small piece of fabric for the covering which was personal choice) were provided. Great tuition, lots of helpful tips and information about all aspects of diy in a friendly and professional setting Would do another course and would highly recommend.
