Join us at this unique workshop in Sydney where you’ll learn the art of Danish cord weaving while working on your very own mid-century Pi stool. Made from reclaimed Australian hardwood, this iconic piece draws inspiration from Scandinavian and Japanese design, creating a versatile addition to your home. (please note as we have recently redeveloped and improved this course so some of the smaller stools shown in the pictures are no longer available to work on).
In this hands-on two-day workshop, you’ll master the basics of cord weaving under the guidance of experienced facilitators. With a focus on safety and practical tips, you’ll discover the joy of working with your hands and creating something special.
Throughout the workshop, you’ll immerse yourself in the process, gaining a deeper understanding of weaving principles and craftsmanship. By the end, you’ll not only have a beautifully woven Pi stool to take home but also a newfound appreciation for the artistry of woodworking.
  • Learn woodworking techniques
  • Understand cord weaving basics
  • Create a unique mid-century Pi stool
This workshop is open to students 16 and older, with careful considerations in place for those under 18. Immerse yourself in this transformative experience and craft a timeless piece for your home.

Among the Trees is an ethical and sustainability based start-up for reclaimed timber located in Marrickville. 
Saving timber from demolitions or other discarded uses and making it available to the public through a retail timber shop and woodworking classes. Accessibility to wood doesn't just mean being wheelchair friendly (which we are), it also means helping customers understand how to use and source reclaimed timber. To make it as easy as possible to work with, we offer custom machining and glueing, so the timber in our store can be squared, resurfaced and cut to specific dimensions. We also help empower individuals to have the confidence to undertake woodworking projects by offering woodworking beginners classes that are taught with simple hand tools. 
 
Lumberyards and wood workshops can be intimidating sometimes, ATT is one of the few places that caters not only to architects, planners, homeowners as well as carpenters and tradespeople but also to customers that have little to no woodworking experience and are embarking on DIY and student projects or trying their hand at repair, renovating or building. 
Our workshop at Among The Trees is set up to be the perfect space to learn about hand tools, reclaimed timber, and woodworking. We’ve been hard at work collecting, restoring and tuning all the tools required to learn woodworking, and a few extra ones as well.
 
All-in-all, everyone that is interested in wood is welcome!
