Our tutor - Angel - was brilliant. He was friendly, welcoming, unbelievably skilled and - probably most important - patient!! I spent a very very happy afternoon working to change a flat surface into something resembling art but best of all I learnt about the tools and the skills you need to use them and the wonderful nature of wood!

Wecandoo geeft iedereen de kans om een workshop te ervaren in het atelier van een lokale ambachtsman of -vrouw, om samen een eigen unieke creatie te maken. Een bijzondere ervaring waar je een vaardigheid kan ontdekken met gepassioneerde vakmensen en je eigen creativiteit kunt laten spreken.
