Summer Term

At Smart Hands Studio, we’re proud to support the home education community with creative, hands-on woodwork workshops during the school day. Our workshops offer children a chance to develop practical skills, confidence, and creativity — while enjoying the company of others in a safe, inspiring environment.

These sessions are designed specifically for home-educated children aged 4 and up. Each class is small and personal, with a maximum of 4 spaces per session, ensuring every child gets plenty of attention and guidance from our experienced staff.  We run weekly home education woodwork sessions in small, age-appropriate groups. On Tuesdays (1:30–2:30pm) we welcome children aged 4–7, and on Wednesdays (11–12pm) we work with ages 8–11.

Workshops run during the school day in half-termly blocks. Parents book in advance for a full block of sessions to secure their child’s place.

These are drop-and-go sessions — so you can leave your child with us and enjoy a little time for yourself, knowing they are in a safe and engaging space.

• A fully-equipped woodwork studio, designed for children and run with a strong focus on safety and supervision.
   
• All tools, materials, and protective equipment are provided.
   
• A calm, creative environment that allows children to take the lead on their own projects, with support and guidance where needed.
   

Through these sessions, children will:
✅ Learn how to use real tools safely and responsibly
✅ Develop fine and gross motor skills
✅ Practice planning, problem-solving, and creative thinking
✅ Build confidence and pride in making something with their own hands
✅ Experience working independently and taking ownership of their projects
✅ Strengthen social skills by sharing the space with other home-educated children

As well as building practical skills, our workshops give children a chance to meet others in the home education community, make friends, and enjoy the social side of learning together in a relaxed and supportive setting.
