“The course and wonderful tutors absolutely delivered. The environment at the CFW is enriching and supportive, and the curriculum achieves a great balance between design, traditional skills and modern-day making.”
“The Centre opened my eyes to another level of furniture making. It taught me to slow down, to question my methods, and to appreciate the importance of precision, patience and good design.”
“The Furniture Makers’ Programme transformed my approach to design and introduced me to a career as a designer-maker. With exceptional tutors, a supportive learning environment, and countless memorable experiences, CFW was a truly special chapter in my life. If you’re on the fence, just do it!”
“The Furniture Makers’ Programme changed my life and the way I see wood, furniture, and the process of making. With the support of incredible tutors and seven fellow makers, I learned how to turn my ideas into real pieces of furniture, find my voice as a maker, and discover a community where I truly belong.”
“What makes this place so special are the people who work there, and the culture of the place. The course is immersive, non-competitive and supportive. I arrived thinking I knew a fair bit about woodworking. I left feeling competent, but realising I had so much more to learn.”
“Before starting the full-time course, I had very little knowledge of woodwork or making. My time at the Centre shaped the beginning of developing my own personal style and gave me the confidence to be a woodworker. The Full-Time Furniture Makers’ Programme gave me a solid foundation to build onto — and has opened up many different avenues in my career.”
