The London School of Furniture Making

Just finished joinery 1 yesterday. It was an excellent course. Really covered a lot in 4 days and the final day project helped to bring it all together. We had a full class of 8 student which worked well. A lot of individual attention, but also enough space to get on with things. Just working out which course to do next now. Highly recommended! Thank you Helen & LSF

The week-long Fitted Furniture course, run by Sam Brown was brilliant. Interactive, practical with a really relaxed vibe it all made for a great learning experience. Thoroughly recommended.

Did a 4 day course there in the summer and liked it so much I'm going back for a follow up course shortly. Excellent 'hands on' teaching from Helen who founded the school. She quite rightly starts from the absolute basics of posture and stance to make sure you aren't learning bad habits from the get go. Then sharpening of tools. Then onto how precise you have to be making your marks and cuts. Great atmosphere with other students, excellent workshop. Really well laid out course over the four days. I don't think it could be taught any better and I wholeheartedly recommend the School.

The London school of furniture making is a gem for everyone in London, particularly in North London now it has a new home in buzzing Camden. I just completed the 4 day core skill 1 course (spread over 2 weekends) and really enjoyed learning and practice the basic joinery skills. Sam was a fantastic teacher and super friendly. I got to see Helen a few times during the course and she was super easy going too. The course was challenging but super fun at the same time, and you learn to appreciate doing everything with just few simple tools and your hands. Time definitely flies by fast when you are chiseling away :) I highly recommend this place to anyone who is remotely interested in wood work / making something yourself or just spending 4 quality days with other top notch relaxed humans.

Had a fantastic day with Helen last week as part of an office training day. Helen's charm, passion and sheer depth of knowledge made it extremely enjoyable and worthwhile. I will definitely be booking to a longer course in the near future!
