Melbourne Woodworking Courses is an amazing school for anyone wanting to build or refine their furniture making skills. The environment is friendly, welcoming to all levels of experience. The workshop is well fitted out with everything. The tutors have a wealth of knowledge and most importantly are outstanding teachers. As long standing student I’ve made many small to medium sized projects that I’ve been really happy whilst building my skills and confidence along the way.

I’ve been attending an evening class at Melbourne Woodworking Courses for going on 2 years.  Can’t rate it highly enough!  Initially we built ourselves a small side table and then moved on to individual projects.  The tutor’s guidance is great, as is the over-all push to make sure our projects are as well made and as high quality as they can be.  We’re learning both hand tool skills and working on and gaining confidence on all of the machines in the well fitted out workshop.  Coming here is the highlight of my week and the opportunity to work with my hands and engage with my classmates.

Short Course Spotlight

I have attended Andrew Gibb’s Tuesday morning class for a number of years and have found it to be fantastic.  Andrew is a teacher extraordinaire – hugely experienced, and always helpful, encouraging and supportive.  I can’t recommend him highly enough.  Andrew is supported by Rob and Kym who work tirelessly to provide the very best learning environment.  Happy and rewarding times.
