Our week day bench space sessions are available to those who have completed one of our Safe Machine Set-up and Use workshops, as participants must adhere to ESCA safety rules and conditions.

One instructor will be available at all times during these creative workshops to help guide participants in all facets of their projects from concept through to creation. Each session is comprised of a 3 hour block, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Participants may specify which sessions they wish to attend. Numbers per session are limited to a maximum of 4 and a minimum of 3. As with all ESCA workshops, session blocks must be booked and paid for in advance. Due to the self-directed nature of these sessions, participants must have a basic knowledge of woodworking. It is also recommended that each participant brings his/her own hand tools along.*2

One-on-one training is the quickest, most direct and efficient way to learn about furniture design and construction and to acquire the necessary skills that are needed to produce exceptional work.

Each participant works exclusively alongside the instructor and has the freedom to direct the nature of activities, whether it be resolving a design, or honing a set of skills. Past students have been amazed at their rapid progress
