Explore hands-on woodworking classes for every skill level.
At the Florida School of Woodwork, students of all skill levels learn furniture making, carving, joinery, and fine woodworking through expert-led, hands-on classes.
Our light-filled workshop is housed in a beautifully restored 1920s industrial building in Tampa, combining historic character with a modern, fully equipped woodshop.
For more than a decade, we’ve helped students build real skills, gain confidence, and make something they’re proud of.

Our classes are led by active furniture makers, turners, and carvers—people who build for a living and love to teach. Whether you’re exploring a new hobby, upleveling your skills, or eyeing a career shift, you’ll get the know-how, feedback, and shop habits to bring your designs to life.
We keep class sizes small so instructors can tailor lessons to you. Expect personal guidance, clear demos, and encouragement that builds your confidence, comfort, and technique—one cut, joint, and finish at a time.
Courses span beginner to advanced and cover joinery, hand tools, turning, finishing, and cabinetmaking in formats from weekends to week-long intensives. Need something specific? We also offer one-on-one sessions to fit tricky schedules and goals.
