Whats happening lately
For the last two Saturdays , our eager students have been diligently working away - fine tuning their design skills and learning from the ground up - the fundamentlals of woodworking.
They have got their hands dirty and experiences life as a woodworker
Our enthusiastic team have made us proud - creating their beautiful tables , designed specfically for their own homes …
And the results speak for themselves
Congratulations to our graduates !!
We cannot wait !!
Our first class for woodworking will begin in earnest this Saturday !
Our timber masterclass , will see 6 eager students begin their journey of woodworking this weekend .
During the workshop our budding woodworkers will learn the fundamentals of woodworking .
They will become educated in timber and design , gain essential hands on knowledge in a professional workshop and craft their own timber salt and pepper shakers in a morning of fun and productivity
So said Michelangelo at age 87 and rightly so.
The quest for learning and for challenging oneself we believe should never wane.
That is why we take so much proud in our Woodworking classes.
Whether it is our traditional woodworking classes, learning the art of Surfboard Making or creating a hall table our classes are geared for the absolute beginner and aimed at fuelling the inner woodworker
We dont know who gets more satisfaction out of our classes ; the student who has just created an amazing surfboard, or our team on seeing and feeling the great satisfaction of our students.
That feeling when you’ve just made your very own surfboard !
Keeping our classes small ensures there is lots of time and space for personalised tuition. Being in a relaxed yet professional environment serves as a great base for our students to learn.
A lot of our students have no woodworking experience or have even stepped inside a woodworking workshop , so being able to gently guide and encourage learning in a productive and fun way is paramount to us.
If you think 2020 is the year you want to do something beautiful and creative for yourself, step away from the screens and immerse yourself in something new and challenging we urge you to peruse our Calendar of Learning Page and see what may interest you.
Of course you have questions and we are just an email away to answer any of your queries.
See you in class
Exciting times ahead for Bywater Design, as previously mentioned we are busily creating new work for our gallery.
We strive to follow our ethos of using reclaimed and salvaged timber wherever and whenever we can and by using recyled timber we are contributing to saving our plantations as well as using something that may be destined for the scrap heap.
More often than not resalvaged timber has a charm and a wonderful patina all of its own, and with age comes beauty and character, timber is no different.
Currently we are in the process of using some salvaged Silky Oak and making some small items of furniture with it.
Silky Oak (Grevillea Robusta ) is an ideal timber to use for furniture making, its warm pink lustre, and detailed grain make for a wonderful finished product.
Its durability for most types of climate make it wonderful for the Queensland Climate.
A beautiful table just waiting to happen …
Ready for the finishing touches …
We cant wait to reveal the final product
Ethical classic and durable
Watch this space !
