The Illawarra Woodwork School is based in Wollongong NSW Australia. The classes are taught by Stuart Montague who has been making furniture for over 30 years and is a third generation furniture maker.
The classes are project based: After the first initial lessons were using the basic hand tools for marking out, cutting and planing timber are taught, we start on your project.
The initials projects are there to introduce to the workshop and to teach hand skills as well as introducing you to the machinery. We have a range of first projects mirror frame, wooden mallet, chopping board and a jewellery box. As your skills increase, further projects include dining tables, cabinets, chairs and stools.
The Illawarra Woodwork school also offers weekend & 5 day workshops in chairmaking, spoon carving and greenwood furniture making. These workshops are taught by in-house tutors or by Australia’s finest woodworkers such as Carol Russell & Hape Kiddle.
