It’s natural that your inner DIY enthusiasts emerges and forces you to covet homemade goods and reclaimed furniture.
Well, for anyone who feels their skills aren’t up to par to take on such a project, fret not, there is a Pallet Furniture Making Workshop coming to Dublin.

The course leader Matthew Huber is a self-taught woodworker from Kansas City, Missouri, USA. He has been building furniture for 24 years. In recent years Matthew has been making furniture and sculpture from reclaimed and found materials using traditional hand tools which he refers to as Guerrilla Woodworking.
The course is €145 and takes place in Block T.
