Came for a teacher’s course and I had such a wonderful time. The facility has so much to offer with great workspaces. Lots of knowledge shared, I have taken away lots of ideas and new skills.

If you would like to learn the life skill of Woodworking or have a future Carpenter in your household or just a general interest in Woodworking, I highly recommend Woodchix! Not only for teachers to refine their Woodworking skill set , but also for children to learn the fundamentals of woodwork. Exceptional and highly qualified teachers and educators! Look no further you have found the right place to learn this invaluable life skill whilst having lots of fun!

After spending a really enjoyable week with woodchix, my confidence around terminology and practical skills has increased. The week was well paced and Gill the presenter was very approachable. This is one of the most useful courses for any teacher wanting to gain valuable experience and knowledge for teaching Technology Mandatory Wood. Thank you Woodchix.

I recently completed the 3-day workshop with Woodchix and it was a fantastic experience. I was amazed at how much we covered in a short time—not only did I build a birdhouse, but I also learned fundamental skills like how to properly sharpen a chisel. We covered a variety of joinery techniques including rebate, box, and dovetail joints. The instruction was excellent and I feel much more confident in the workshop now. Highly recommended!

Gill was awesome, very patient, clear and purposeful instructions/demonstrations, she was happy to answer any question. I felt very welcomed by her and her pooch Bear. Gill is obviously very experienced in educating both adults and children, her laid back, and yet decisive approach was exactly what I needed. It was an incredibly inspiring experience, I felt empowered and confident of my capabilities in woodworking. I would be more than willing to attend any other applicable workshops in the future. I would highly recommend Woodchix to anyone looking to get inspired about teaching high school students or just top up your skills/knowledge of D&T, Tech Mandatory or Industrial Tech.
