Craft, Connect and Improve Wellbeing

We are on a mission to improve wellbeing and reduce consumption through the joyful process of sustainable woodwork.

We Are A Community Driven Workshop Based in Maryhill, Glasgow

We are a welcoming community wood workshop and non-profit in Maryhill, Glasgow – a space for anyone to learn and share skills in sustainable woodwork. We use donated and reclaimed timber to make, teach and support all forms of woodwork from spoon carving to furniture restoration.
