A team building event with a difference

Getting into the workshop and creating something with your hands is a fantastic team-building experience for workplaces and other organisations.

Our expert woodworkers will guide your team through the process of crafting a wooden mixing spoon or spatula to take home.

Everyone will get to experience the joy of creating their own beautiful utensil, even if they’ve never touched a woodworking tool in their life.
