Sylvantutch has always been more than just a furniture business. It is a social enterprise, with its core values rooted in a desire to share knowledge and experience with others, and to spread the positive influence of its work.

Our furniture making courses have provided many hundreds of men, women and children, with no previous carpentry experience, with the tools, techniques and inspiration to build their own furniture, as well as enabling a number of successful spin-off furniture businesses.

All courses include lunch: bring nothing but yourself and some work clothes.
 
Courses run throughout the year, seven days a week, on a date to suit you. We only ask that you give us a week's notice to prepare the wood. 
There are several excellent accommodation options around us if you want to stay overnight and explore the area, ranging from yurts, to posh but affordable guesthouses. Send us an email with the dates you would like to attend and if you need help with finding accommodation.

Let us know if you are buying a course as a present and we will post you a course voucher.

In addition to the courses advertised here, we can also run courses on bigger items, making anything you would like!
Below are some pictures of furniture made on bespoke courses: a funky executive desk; a lovers' seat; and 'his and hers' dining chairs. Anything is possible, even a wooden rocket to the stars!!
