Welcome to The Huntley School of Woodworking

The Huntley School of Woodworking is a small, old-fashioned, teaching workshop where the emphasis is on hand skills, understanding, patience and above all practice.  The School is run by Michael Huntley FRSA, ACR-ICON who has spent his entire life in the world of antiques and restoration.  Teaching is on a one to one basis and although structured, follows no set curriculum.  Each student is able to learn at their own pace and in line with their own specific areas of interest enabling them to build the knowledge and confidence required.

The Huntley School of Woodworking offers a wide range of courses covering all aspects of traditional woodworking as well as more specialist courses in traditional Japanese woodworking. The courses can be taken independently as one day or three day workshops (course dependent) or alternatively combined and tailored to specific needs, up to full year courses. Before any student is signed up a detailed discussion to determine specific needs is undertaken.
