Introduction
At Ashridge we offer a forty week course in fine furniture making. We consider this the minimum time needed to gain a solid grounding in the craft.
This is only possible where dedicated and exclusive teaching skills are available to you. A watered down pale equivalent is to be avoided.
The purpose of the course is to provide students with the skills and experience that will allow them to pursue a career as a fine furniture maker. These skills, if you have some co-ordination of limb and eye, will come quite easily. Knowledge of procedure is what you need most and this can only come from direct instruction of both the theory and the execution from a master craftsman who is there on hand to teach you for the majority of your working week.
