FLORIDA SCHOOL OF WOODWORK
Make something. Most of us no longer get the chance to create something from scratch that will last the test of time. And there’s something about starting with a piece of bare wood and making something beautiful and useful that you just have to experience. Woodworking class at the Florida School of Woodwork is the place to do just that.
Our woodworking, wood turning and wood carving classes are located in a beautiful, light-filled workshop in a newly renovated industrial building from the 1920’s. Right at the meeting spot of Tampa’s RiverWalk district and Historic Seminole Heights.
Our instructors are amazing woodworkers, turners and carver with real world experience. You will get individual attention and hours of hands on experience. No matter your current knowledge, abilities and goals you will find a class for you here. Classes focus on both project and technical development in all of the disciplines of woodworking – furniture making, lathe and carving skill, in a well organized, safe and friendly environment.
