(27th June – 18th July) The Pallet Challenge! A Zero Waste Woodworking Course! (4 week course)
£80.00
Learn how to deconstruct, design and build using pallet wood!
Pallet wood is everywhere and often ends up in the scrap heap. Why waste this fabulous resource? This workshop aims to show the many ways you can use pallet wood to build brilliant new objects from planters to garden furniture, coffee tables and chairs.
Split over a 4-week course, the Pallet Challenge will show the fun and creative ways of using palette wood, the material that’s always left on the street. Learn how you can reuse and make rather than buy new. With these upcycling principles in mind, this course will go through how to deconstruct a pallet, the design process, drawing plans, how to use woodworking tools such as a cordless drill, jigsaw, marking tools as well as finishing techniques such as sanding and oiling.
All culminating in you taking home a handmade pallet piece of your own making!
While you don’t have to be a complete expert, we recommend that participants have at least some familiarity with woodwork before signing up for this course. If you’re a complete beginner, we suggest trying out our Introduction to Woodworking course first – found on our Workshops page.
