Richard Arnold delivers a “Back to the Bench” Masterclass, rediscovering Pre-Industrial Woodworking Techniques.
This session explores how furniture and tools were crafted before the age of machines, when precision came from hand and eye, not electricity. Learn what we’ve lost, what we can reclaim, and why these age-old techniques still matter today.
Masterclasses include entry to the Marketplace and a £20 discount off orders exceeding £250 with Classic Hand Tools, redeemable once per ticket, only during the festival.
