Before you book
Do I need any experience?
None for the Saturday and the weekend. For the five-day table, a class with us or a little time with a saw helps.
What should I wear?
Old clothes and closed shoes. We lend aprons.
Can I give a class as a present?
Yes. We send a card with the date left open, good for a year.
