per persoonDe workshop in detail
This extraordinary woodworking workshop is led by the talented duo, Harry and Johanna. Prepare yourself for an unforgettable experience as you dive into the art of crafting your very own charcuterie board.
We'll begin with an introduction to sustainable materials and their origins, emphasising our commitment to eco-friendly practices. Ensuring everyone's safety is paramount, so we'll conduct a comprehensive safety briefing, familiarising you with the tools we'll be using.
Next, it's time to unleash your creativity! You'll have the exciting opportunity to work with a piece of reclaimed wood sourced from the offcuts of our furniture business. Whether you wish to design a custom board shape or use one of our stencils, the choice is entirely yours.
Under the expert guidance of Harry and Johanna, you'll bring your design to life using either a bandsaw or jigsaw, depending on your chosen shape. Witness your charcuterie board take form right before your eyes.
Refining and perfecting your board is the next step. With a variety of tools at your disposal, including hand sandpaper, an orbital sander, and a disc/belt sander, you'll achieve a smooth and polished finish that showcases the natural beauty of the wood.
To protect and enhance your charcuterie board, you'll learn how to apply a professional-grade mineral oil. This final touch will ensure your board not only looks stunning but also stands the test of time.
Now, here's where the magic happens! By the end of this immersive workshop, lasting approximately 4.5 hours, you'll proudly walk away with your very own handcrafted charcuterie board. Picture the joy of serving delectable cheeses and cured meats on a board that you personally designed and brought to life with your own hands.
Join Harry and Johanna in their charming and inviting workshop, nestled at the end of the garden. Filled with an assortment of buzzing tools and reclaimed wood awaiting transformation, this space exudes passion and craftsmanship.
Passionate and detail-oriented, Harry and Johanna will guide you every step of the way, sharing their expertise and fostering your newfound woodworking skills.

A wonderful few hours with lovely people making something beautiful and useful! Couldn’t thank these two enough - we had such a great experience. The setting was also lovely - a workshop in a gorgeous garden with wildflowers by a church. So relaxing!

I had a great session making a charcuterie board - though it will be a cheeseboard in truth. Harry and Johanna took the time to explain all the different tools and techniques being used and I was very pleased with the result. I have no hesitation in recommending them..!

I attended Johanna and Harry’s workshop last weekend and really enjoyed it. They are friendly, nice and obviously very talented woodworkers! The three hour class followed a step by step process from turning a plank of wood into a chopping board. I’d recommend this class to anyone and everyone!

I bought this workshop to spend quality time with my boyfriend during his holiday. We both love creating something useful for home and bumped into this wood working workshop though a Google search. We were the only ones in the class so we had both artisan helping us which was great. Johanna and Harry gives precise and clear instructions and are kind and fun. It made us feel like we were with a group of friends, which was lovely. We both made really professional looking chopping board that we will be proud to display in our next dinner party. We will definitely be back for the brush workshop.

My wife and I took part in this session run by Harry and Johanna. It was excellent, really well run and organised. They are both incredibly knowledgeable about woodworking and about how to build and use materials sustainably. The session is great value - considering you get all of the skills and experience they have built up over years, and you get to walk away with your own charcuterie board! As completely novice woodworkers, I was so impressed with the time and care Harry and Johanna took in explaining everything and making sure we felt comfortable with what we were doing. I honestly can't recommend the class enough - it was brilliant.

This was so much fun! Harry and Johanna were calm and knowledgeable and adapted the workshop so well to the different paces of people in the group. What a great way to spend a Saturday - and to come away with a new board I made myself! I went to this solo and felt so comfortable and well-looked after. 100% would recommend.
