In Lille, Quentin Peyron shares his expertise as a cabinetmaker and harpsichord maker with amateur craftspeople. Trained in furniture design, he runs workshops at CoFabrik, a shared workspace for specialist crafts.
Make a stool
One workshop introduces modern joining methods through making a stool. Another lets participants create a height-adjustable screw stool, combining woodworking with a working mechanism.
Understand traditional joints
Participants can also build a trivet using traditional wood joints. This project helps explain marking out, accurate cutting and fitting pieces together before gluing or finishing.
Other ways to get started
Making a chopping board offers an accessible introduction to woodwork, while woodturning can be used to create a spinning top or honey dipper. What makes this workshop special is the artisan's background: custom furniture and musical-instrument making give him particular expertise in joints and fine finishing.
