Woodwork for Humans
Woodwork for Humans is a hands-on holiday camp for students interested in traditional hand tool woodworking. In this course, students will learn essential skills like reading plans, accurate layout, and classic joinery—foundations that carry over into many parts of life. Whether it sparks a lifelong hobby or just builds confidence with tools and in themselves, this is a great opportunity to slow down, make something real, and work with your hands.
Hosted by Mr. Kim in T7 at Rosmini College.
Places are limited to 16 spots on each days but anyone with a positive attitude is welcome.
All tools and materials are provided for.
If the sessions are sold out, it means that the slots are full. If it is full and you are interested in your child attending an afternoon session instead then please contact me as I currently only plan to run the morning session but might open up an afternoon session if there is enough interest.
