Craft, connect and
improve wellbeing
We are a community driven workshop based in Maryhill, Glasgow
We are a welcoming community wood workshop and non-profit in Maryhill, Glasgow – a space for anyone to learn and share skills in sustainable woodwork. We use donated and reclaimed timber to make, teach and support all forms of woodwork from spoon carving to furniture restoration.
Have a project you’re working on but nowhere to bring it to life?
Join us for our weekly Open Bench Sessions, where you can use our workshop, tools, and bench space to work on your own projects with guidance and support from our friendly team.
