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.
