Are these woodworking and DIY experiences suitable for complete beginners?
Yes, absolutely! The majority of these courses and workshops are specifically aimed at absolute beginners. Expert instructors will guide you step-by-step, going through everything from workshop safety, tools handling, design and techniques to complete your project.
What will I actually be making during a woodworking lesson?
What you make depends on the course you choose. From our beginner DIY days focussing on home maintenance and learning how to use power tools and basic DIYing tasks such as hanging pictures and so on, to more specialist woodworking courses to make bespoke wooden pieces, or even specialised artisan courses like making a guitar or tool forging, we have it all.
Will I be able to take home what I make?
Yes. Everything you successfully craft and create during these woodworking, tooling and DIY courses is yours to take home and keep, whether it's a custom-made wooden item or a set of hand-forged tools. You'll also leave with the confidence to continue using the skills you've learned!
Can I exchange my woodworking voucher for a different experience?
Yes. Into The Blue allows you exchange vouchers if the recipient would prefer to leave the woodworking tools in the shed and do something different like drive a supercar or fly a plane. If your voucher is redeemed, you can easily do the exchang via our online portal.
Are the courses physically demanding?
You will be using hand tools, power tools and standing at work stations for these courses. You'll be moving materials around too. This means a moderate level of physical ability and manual dexterity is needed. For any further questions you may have on accessibility, don't hesitate to contact our customer service team.
