Trainee furniture maker

Founded by furniture maker Matthew Hensby, the Hensby workshop was set up with a belief that traditional craftsmanship can hold a lasting place within contemporary design.

Matthew is looking to hear from people at the beginning of their furniture-making career who are interested in developing their skills within a professional workshop environment. The role would involve working alongside an experienced maker on bespoke furniture commissions, starting with the fundamentals and gradually taking on more responsibility as skills develop.

Some practical furniture-making experience is desirable, whether through formal training or time in a workshop, but qualifications are not essential. More important are a strong eye for detail, patience, care in making, and a genuine commitment to developing traditional furniture-making skills.

This is a paid position, with pay reflecting experience and ability.
