What to expect in the workshop

You will receive in-depth basic knowledge about:

• Materials & substrates: Which surfaces are suitable for what?

Design your own workpiece

After initial exercises on a practice board, you can apply what you have learned directly: Design and finish your own solid wood step stool. Thanks to a large selection of colors (25-30 shades) and optional design options such as metallic highlights, your workpiece is guaranteed to be an eye-catcher.

Possible uses for your stool:

• Practical household helper
• Stool for plants or flowers
