Furniture Makers’ Programme - 2009
In 2009 as a 20 year old aspiring woodworker I took a leap of faith, one which took me to New Zealand to undertake the Full-Time Furniture Program. It was a leap I didn't take lightly, not only was there the time and financial commitment to consider but what would it be like? Would I make new friends? Would I learn what I hoped to?"
Well with more than 15 years of time to reflect I am absolutely convinced it was a great decision. Upon arrival I met the brilliant and inspiring cabinet maker John Shaw and the master steam bender David Haig. During my 9 months at CFW I learnt an immense amount from these two craftsman along with other visiting tutors, local woodworkers and of course my fellow students. I definitely found what I was looking for, a supportive learning environment with a sense of community where a shared passion for Fine Woodworking is fostered and celebrated.
I’ll be forever grateful for my time at CFW, for what I was taught and the friends I made.
