I had a lot of fun with Dirk. He has that balance between giving great advice and letting you do your own thing. Great workshop if you want to learn how to reuse wood and how to make things from 0. Don't be worried if its your first time and for sure go for it if you have already worked with wood before!!

Hele fijne dag in het inspirerende maakatelier ! Dirk is de perfecte gepassioneerde persoon om je in je eerste houtcreatie opdracht te begeleiden. Een dag waarop de je hoofd helemaal leeg kan maken en enkel hoeft te focussen op je eigen ontwerp. Zeker een aanrader!

Ik heb een superleuke en leerrijke dag achter de rug. Dirk en zijn sidekick hielpen ons met alles. Ik ging naar huis met een zelfgemaakte tuinbank: dat had ik nooit durven dromen!

Amazing experience! Even having no previous experience I could create my own small closet in one day! Dirk provided a lot of support and freedom to choose my project! The atelier has all the tools needed! I definitely recommend trying it out! Thanks once again Dirk :)
