A cracking box made by our former 50 week student A cracking box made by our former 50 week student year student Alex @ajpwoododyssey . Named the Midnight Rituals: Alex’s first fully designed and made project. The box was inspired by the mountains at night. Dyed walnut veneers and laser cut patterns on the corners, filled with guilt cream to reflect the moon's shine on couloirs and rock faces. The mountain species Tamo Ash was used for the inside, as the figuring reminded me of contours for higher ground on a map The corner pieces proved particularly challenging, with many iterations explored through sampling. . . . #furnituredesign #furnituremaking #furnituremakingschool #robinsonhousestudio #boxdesign #walnut #tamoash #mountains #lasercutting #capitalcrispinveneer #madeinsussex #handmade #handtools #cabinetmaker #box #jewelrybox #woodenbox #woodenboxes #handmadebox #bestigwoodworking

Testimonials

Having worked in Software Engineering for a lifetime, I wanted to develop practical skills with tangible results and hopefully make something I could be proud of. The course has provided me with an insight into the exacting standards necessary to create fine furniture and is equipping me with the key skills. I have particularly enjoyed Marc’s enthusiasm for the design elements, his encouragement to challenge traditional design and to be open to a breadth of inputs/influences.
Gordon White
During my time at Robinson house studio I learnt how to combine traditional making techniques with modern design.
Dan Ryder Cook
I followed Marc’s 12 week course and am delighted with what I learned and achieved. Marc is an excellent teacher. He is thorough and patient and adapts his advice well to the ability and confidence of each and every student.
Duncan White
Prior to my time at robinson house studio I had worked as a carpenter both on site and in a workshop. I realised I wanted to pursue making bespoke fine furniture and felt that a course with Marc at the studio offered in-depth cabinet making tuition as well as the opportunity to explore design. It certainly proved to be an exciting environment to be a part of, with emphasis on contemporary design and the use of innovative new materials and techniques.

When I found Marc’s course online we had a long chat about what I can achieve within the course, what his work entails, his design philosophy and teaching method. It was an easy choice after that to sig… Read more
