P R O J E C T S !
It was SO good to have our Level 3 Projects students back in our workshop last night. Every student now has their own work areas with a ‘safe space’ for working that is 2m from other work areas and 2m from communal walkways. Each work area has its own set of tools and sanitising equipment for each student to use.
⠀
All of which means that Yvonne can get back to making her windows, Karen can crack on with her piano stool and Nick can put the finishing touches to his display cabinet safe in the knowledge they are all COVID secure.
⠀
After completing Levels 1 & 2 of our Woodwork for Beginners courses, our students can move on to Level 3 - Woodwork Joinery - Furniture Projects where we help with project design, timber sourcing, joinery plans and then give students technical guidance as they complete their own bespoke project. Please visit our website for more information.

U P H O L S T E R Y !
Our Eco Upholstery for Beginners Level 1 course is suitable for those with no previous upholstery experience. In 2 daytime classes or 4 evenings, you’ll upholster a small pine stool frame using traditional upholstery techniques using recycled and environmentally friendly materials.
⠀
You’ll learn how to effectively use upholstery hand tools such as webbing stretchers, shape a seat pad using natural fillings, tacks, tension and fabric. We’ll teach you basic upholstery cuts and folds and how to apply a wood finish. The course fee includes everything you need including the small pine stool frame and a choice of top fabrics (or you can bring your own if you like).
⠀
You can take part in classes during our regular weekly Wednesday daytime or Tuesday evening classes. If you’re busy during the week, our next ‘single weekend’ courses are available to book now for the 26th & 27th September or 21st & 22nd November. Please visit our website for more information.

W O O D W O R K !
Tonight sees the return of Woodwork evening classes to The Makershed and our fab Tutor Ali will be teaching all 3 skill levels during the Autumn/Winter term. As many of you know our Beginners woodworking courses are spilt into 2 Levels over which students learn a variety of traditional joinery techniques.
⠀
In Level 1 they make a toolbox and learn how to to mark out a joint, saw straight and square, chisel a rebate and use a variety of planes including block, plough and smoothing types effectively. In Level 2 they make a softwood cabinet and learn about housing, mortice and tenon, dovetail joints and dowels as well as how to assemble glue and cramp projects together.
⠀
After completing Levels 1 & 2 of our Woodwork for Beginners courses, our students can move on to Level 3 - Woodwork Joinery - Furniture Projects where we help with project design, timber sourcing, joinery plans and then give students technical guidance as they complete their own bespoke project.
⠀

W E A R E O P E N !
We are absolutely indebted to all our students, friends and family for their amazing support over the last few months and we couldn’t be more proud, excited and grateful to be opening our workshop doors again later today. Our workshop is a Covid-Secure workplace, we’ve halved our class capacity to enable physical distancing and each student workstation is kitted out with individual tools and PPE.
⠀
An essential part of this Covid-Secure status is how we as staff, and our students manage their behaviour whilst in the workshop. Our new rules and guidelines will be sent to all new students to read and digest so that they arrive informed and prepared to keep the workshop safe for both staff and students.
⠀
We look forward to welcoming all students both existing and new back into the workshop from today and long into the future! Many of our Autumn term Weekend & Evening courses are already fully booked but there are still plenty of spaces left on our Weekday Daytime courses for both Woodwork and Upholstery. Visit our website for details and search ‘Weekly Daytime Courses’.

S I G N A G E !
Happy Bank Holiday Monday to all of you in the UK this morning. We hope you all have a gorgeous day what ever you get up to.
⠀
We always put safety first at The Makershed, therefore looking after everyone's health, stopping the spread of Covid-19 and continuing to support our wonderful NHS are our top priorities.
⠀
We’re making the final touches to our workshop before we reopen and have been putting up our new safety posters. There’s lots to read and plenty of new rules to take in for our students but we want to make sure they are all safe and feel totally secure being in our workshop.

C O V I D S A F E !
How good does our colourful floor tape look!? We’ve been busy getting ready for our reopening next week and the workshop has been totally transformed. We’ve halved our student capacity to make sure everyone will be able to maintain a 2m physical distance between each other at all times.
⠀
The workshop is now divided into 6 separate work areas with a ‘safe space’ for working that is 2m from other work areas and 2m from communal walkways. We’ve got colour codes for each student so that they know which work area is theirs and the route to get there.
⠀
Each work area has its own set of tools and equipment so that sharing is minimised as much as possible along with cleaning and sanitising equipment for each student to use during each class. We couldn’t be more COVID-19 secure or ready to re-open!

We don’t have to wait long now to get back into the workshop, this time next week we’ll have a limited number of students (to allow for physical distancing) back in our covid-19 secure workshop eager and ready to make their own toolboxes.

You’ll be guided in how to keep your planes, chisels and sharpeners in good working order and you’ll also get to try out a variety of sharpening equipment and techniques. Feel free to bring along your own hand tools for sharpening or we’ll show you how to do it on a few we have here.
⠀
In the event we are not able to run any courses due to COVID-19 related restrictions we will reschedule your booking for another date.

We are absolutely indebted to all our students, friends and family for their amazing support over the last few months and we couldn’t be more proud, excited and grateful to have our workshop doors again. Our workshop is a Covid-Secure workplace, we’ve halved our class capacity to enable physical distancing and each student workstation is kitted out with individual tools and PPE.
⠀
An essential part of this Covid-Secure status is how we as staff, and our students manage their behaviour whilst in the workshop. Our new rules and guidelines will be sent to all new students to read and digest so that they arrive informed and prepared to keep the workshop safe for both staff and students. We look forward to welcoming all students both existing and new back into the workshop from now and long into the future!
