Craft Furniture Making Course in The Hague

Want to learn how to make furniture—from raw wood to finished product? Our Craft Furniture Making course in The Hague teaches you the basics of furniture making step by step, using a carefully selected piece of furniture.

During the course, you'll work towards a specific piece of furniture, introducing you to essential techniques of the trade. You'll learn how wood behaves, how to cut rough wood to size and square, and how to precisely join and connect components into a strong and durable whole.

We work with various woodworking machines, such as saws, planers, and thicknessers, and also pay attention to the use of hand tools. Safety, precision, and understanding of the material are paramount. You'll learn not only how to make something, but also why you make certain choices in construction and finishing.
