What an amazing environment to learn the tricks of the trade and do some DIY. You’ll feel warmly welcomed regardless of age, gender, skill or previous experience. If you’ve ever wanted to become more handy, you’ve found the right place!

Shedding has taught me new skills and I am now confident to take on small repairs around the house! Sophie is a very good teacher. She kept the classes engaging and enjoyable!

I would (and have) recommended Shedding to everyone! Sophie and Patt are knowledgeable and approachable – they provide what you need, whatever your skill level. It has given me a confident sense of direction for my own projects and access to people I can (and will) continue to be involved with. Gratitude is an understatement.

These workshops are ‘hands on’, Sophie was clear with her instruction and she’s a lot of fun too. I now have the confidence to do my own DIY jobs that have been waiting to be fixed for years – I can even pass on some tips to Hubby. I can’t wait to do some more workshops. It is definitely worth it!

Shedding teaches valuable skills to help you tackle personal goals and projects in a creative and harmonious space. Sophie shares a brilliant, “No judgement, only laugh and learn” philosophy, and it truly sets the space. It challenges thoughts and empowers those who engage. I recommend getting involved with shedding to everyone.

Friendly & knowledgeable place to learn about power tools and working with various materials. A beautifully crafted inclusive environment to learn and make new friends. You’ll gain skills and confidence to use tools in no time. Plus all you’ll need to go from design to end product. There are no silly questions and no judgements.

What an amazing intro to woodworking! Sophie is a wonderful, natural, intuitive teacher – welcoming, generous and engaging. Loved the pace – learned a lot, got to measure, cut and drill, all in a super friendly open-air environment. This has set me on the path to making stuff with my own hands!

Cannot recommend this place highly enough.

You’ll gain skills and confidence and be using tools in no time. You’ll also gain all the knowledge you’ll need to go from design to end product.

There are no silly questions and no judgements, just knowledge freely given and shared.
