What you'll do
As short days and long nights continue, join us for a warm, hands-on woodworking workshop in London where reclaimed timber becomes the material for handcrafted functional objects or art pieces. Using only hand tools, we’ll guide you through shaping timber offcuts into objects that you can use in your home or gift to others. Never tried woodworking before? No worries! This session is completely beginner friendly, and you'll receive support every step of the way as you learn how to master the hand tools and craft your chosen project. What to expect:
- Two Yes Make team members will be with you throughout the session, providing guidance and assistance!
- Work on your chosen project such as carved candle holders, incense trays, timber ornaments, small table objects, shelves -- or simply experiment, letting the material lead your creativity!
- Enjoy calm music, warm drinks and good company!
- If you are interested in making it a full-day experience to create multiple pieces or focus on a larger piece, please contact us in advance of booking, and we can provide a discount for the full day!
- A small number of concession rate spaces are available for each workshop for students in full-time education, people on Universal Credit, and people aged 65+.
- Please contact us for more information. If you do not fall into one of these groups but would like to support a concession space, please choose this ticket option.

Recent reviews of Woodworking Workshop OFFCUT X IMPROV
- 5/5 from Sarah McHie, attended May 2026: This was a really fun day. The team let us be creative and build whatever we wanted to build and guide us along the way. I got to learn some new tools and it didn't feel overwhelming. Would recommend!
- 5/5 from Helene Miravalls, attended May 2026: Did Yes Make’s offcut & improv woodworking class on Sunday and it was such a fun experience. Joll and Céline were brilliant - clear professionals, but what really stood out was how passionate they are about what they do. The concept lets you improvise with offcuts and go wherever your ideas take you, with just the right amount of guidance along the way. Perfect balance of freedom and support. Highly recommend!
- 5/5 from Anda Podaru, attended Mar 2026: I booked this as a present for my partner and didn't know quite what to expect but we had the best day designing and creating our projects! The instructors were absolutely lovely and guided us through our projects as we kept changing our minds on what the final design would be. We ended up with two lovely wall mounted shelves and a coffee cup stand that we can admire every day in our house!
