What is an Ash & Co. Kids! Workshop?

Makers who have enjoyed these sessions before know that they're not your average craft activity!

We believe children should have a chance to experience working with real wood and proper tools and let their creativity and imagination run wild. 

Their pride and sense of achievement at making something awesome will absolutely make your day.

On arrival, young makers will choose what they would like to build from our workshop menu of woodwork and craft projects.

They will have access to hand tools, accessories, decorations, paints, scrap wood and more to make totally awesome creations!

Suitable for children aged 5 and up, these sessions are a fun creative activity that teach children hands-on woodworking skills in a safe environment.

Children will learn new skills including how to use basic hand tools, sand wood and connect pieces together using dowels, screws and glue (skills vary by project). They will have the opportunity to paint and customise their project and leave with a huge sense of pride and a fantastic imaginative creation built with their own hands. 

Based on the Hampshire / Surrey border, Jonty and Amanda’s warm welcome always makes everyone feel at home in the workshop and they will be on hand to offer tuition and advice throughout the session.
