Have you ever wanted to create your own unique furniture? During this one day experience you’ll transform a pallet into a one-off piece of furniture for your home.
First you'll find out how to source materials and discover the tools and techniques you’ll need to prepare your pallets for upcycling. Once Scott has introduced you to the workshop space, you’ll use a mix of hand and power tools to create your own piece, from a shoe or wine rack to a bird feeder, storage box or even a small bookcase.
With your experience host's guidance, you'll leave with your own finished upcycled item. All materials, tools and safety equipment will be provided for you on the day.

A brilliant day, I learnt loads and feel confident to get on with further projects, lovely hosts, fab cake and an all round good day!
Absolutely fantastic and worth every penny. I’ve been wanting to make things from pallets for years but lacked confidence. Now I am ready to go (been trying to source pallets straight away for my own little projects). Scott is patient and knowledgeable (so is his lovely wife who also helped us). He took his time to explain everything and assist. I came out knowing what tools I would need and where to look for them to get the best price and how to work safely. Would 100% recommend!

Excellent course, excellent hosts, will definitely be back to do other workshops. Highly recommended.
It was a great day mixing a pleasant social experience along with learning new skills. The balance was there and our hosts were always on hand to answer questions and help provide solutions. It has given me confidence to take my limited carpentry skills to a higher level. Thank you.
Everyone will need to confirm fitness each day. Everyone will have their temperature taken at the beginning of each day. Hand washing will be compulsory at set times during the courses. Face masks will be compulsory during the specific parts of the course where you will be breathing heavily due to exertion. The remainder of the course we will have face shields available as an option to facemasks. Face shields will be provided. But please bring your own face mask.
You don't need any previous woodwork experience, just some enthusiasm! Please wear old clothes (or something that you don’t mind getting damaged or torn) and sensible, closed toe footwear. Work boots are recommended. Tea and coffee will be available throughout the day, but please bring along your own packed lunch.
Course Location courses will be at Scott's own workshop near the Bath and West show grounds (BA46QN)
Max is the inspiration behind "Black Paw". He takes an active interest in all Black Paw experiences and can usually be found at lunchtimes, or indeed when any food is available to share.
Scott is Black Paw’s founder. After years of upcycling, he still loves to share his craft and has taught many people to upcycle safely in a number of different workshop experiences. Scott's aim is always that his guests not only leave with a finished creation, but also the knowledge to upcycle long after their experience is over.
Sue has 30 years of experience as a teacher as well as a passion for upcycling.
She particularly loves working with fabrics, interior design and can share lots of ideas for anyone wanting to make garden accessories.
