The Warren | Practitioners Studio

Did a spoon carving workshop at the Warren and it was super great! Really well organised, the space is fabulous, Tim and Courtney were enthusiastic and encouraging in sharing knowledge and making sure we had everything we needed to make wonderful spoons. Highly recommend!- only minus is it's a bit pricey...!

Another great workshop at The Warren! As always, Tim's, John's, and the staff's warm and friendly attitude guided us through an awesome weekend of great woodworking! Their seemingly endless knowledge on timber and woodworking techniques helped us increase our skills while having fun and on top of that, we walked away with an awesome workbench that can be used to make other great projects at home or shop. Thanks for a fabulous weekend and looking forward to the next one!

A great space for any woodworking project. The instructors have all the skills required to help with progress whilst teaching all safety measures and keeping an eye on you when using machinery. Highly recommended if you're getting started or if you don't have enough room at home to make stuff!

The Warren is incredible! It's a bunch of passionate people who've made a community to share knowledge about woodworking. Not often you find a spot so welcoming and warm. I've done the spoon carving class and the 'all you need to know about wood' class. Both were excellent fun.

Absolutely GREAT introduction to woodworking for me.There was information about safety and skills, and the opportunity to make a spatula out of a block of wood. What a totally satisfying experience. The workshop is clean and tidy - good tools, good dust extraction, good lighting. Felt safe. Comfortable space. I gained confidence and was delighted with my efforts.I used the spatula when making my dinner - onion, bacon and chicken liver - sauteed. Yum! And everything made better by the fact that I had made the wooden spatula which sat in my hand, with just the right weight and balance. I cannot rate this workshop highly enough. I will be back... many times.Thank you Tim. You're a great teacher.

I took my 2 mates here for a cheeseboard experience for their birthdays and we absolutely enjoyed the day. Tim was an awesome, fun teacher with so much patience. Thank you for coming up with a great initiative, we will definitely recommend this workshop to other people :)

Awesome initiative by Tim and the team. Well kitted-out workshop with everything you need to get started and build a little confidence - whether whittling spoons or holding chisels for the first time.I had a great time in my first course and will be back for more!

I recently completed the woodworking with handtools for beginners class here and thoroughly enjoyed it. I learned how to use a bunch of new tools and am so happy with my footstool! Tim and Chris are super knowledgable and so welcoming. I'd recommend this community workshop to anyone who wants to learn woodworking or has a project on the go.

Such an awesome space at The Warren. Like your Granddad's workshop expanded to the max. Lovely vibe of old wood and lovingly looked after tools. I had a great day learning to make a coffee scoop with Courtney. I'd never done anything like this before and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Pretty chuffed with my spoon! Would definitely recommend attending a course at The Warren.
