ONE ON ONE MAKING

This is flexible, bespoke and organic learning with mutual goal setting.

In these sessions, individually tailored learning support is on offer, catering to specific educational needs and various learning styles.

I work with your existing skills and experiences and we grow them together.

There may be something you want to make in wood or learn about woodworking.

The options are endless in your own private woodworking sessions…

Students have worked with me to make stools, coffee tables, sideboards, dining tables, frames, bookcases, bedsides, vinyl storage, hifi stations, desks, beds, chairs, side tables, doors, boxes, grazing platters, mallets and of course…chopping boards!

PROFILE

My name is David Cross and I am a woodwork designer, maker and mentor.

I crafted my first creation at age 7- a timber stool that I have lovingly held onto and am proud to say is still as sturdy as ever.

What started as a passionate hobby, became an extensive career spanning over 30 years including designing, making, restoring and curating. Wood is always in the mix.

Now, I bring my experience in design and creation full circle, taking on the role of teacher and mentor to aspiring woodwork students.

DC Studio is my woodwork school offering woodwork sessions for every age, every capability and skill level, from beginner to advanced.

My want is to share my passion and extensive knowledge, and empower people to set and achieve their goals and be creative with their woodworking.

THEY SAID

I would highly recommend David to anyone wanting to either take their skills to the next level or even for those starting out. David strived for the participants success and this was evident in his teachings. 
David is an excellent communicator, always speaking clearly and listening intently, resulting in great outcomes for his students, including those living with a disability.
He is always insightful, helpful and down to earth making each day a great experience.
