Wisdom Through Wood – School of Green and Traditional Woodworking
Highlights
- Explore green woodworking techniques in a serene open-air workshop surrounded by tall trees and a fern-lined creek.
- Craft unique items like stools and bowls, gaining hands-on experience with traditional tools and expert guidance.
- Immerse yourself in nature just a 25-minute drive from Hobart, enhancing your creative journey with stunning forest views.
- Choose from courses ranging from one to nine days, tailored to suit your pace and skill level in woodworking.
The concept of Wisdom Through Wood emerged from the Tasmanian forest in 2012. It’s now the go-to place to learn green woodworking in Australia.
The school, and open-air workshop, are surrounded by tall trees and a fern-lined creek which nestles naturally into the forest on the southern slopes of kunanyi / Mt Wellington. It’s about a 25-minute drive from Hobart.
Their woodworking courses range from one to nine days and progress from an introduction to the tools and techniques of green woodworking through to creating a chair from a tree. They also make stools, spoons and bowls. The longer courses are not more difficult, they simply go into more detail and you experience a broader range of tools and techniques.
In the open-air workshop, you’ll have your own pole lathe, draw horse and hand tools. They’ll guide you through the experience you seek – in a way, and at a pace, that suits you.
