The Melbourne Guild of Fine Woodworking was founded by Alastair Boell in 2007. After graduating from the world renowned North Bennet Street School, Boston (USA) Alastair felt that there was a great need in Australia for an educational facility that focuses on traditional skills.
The Guild is committed to preserving and advancing craft traditions in furniture making. We are also committed to promoting a greater awareness and appreciation of
craftsmanship. In our classes we emphasize the skillful use of hand tools and power equipment and an informed use of appropriate materials. We are passionate about what we do and want to share information, ideas and skills with all our students young and old, from beginner to advanced.

Living the Dream! Having spent many an hour dreaming of making my own furniture, I was finally able to make it a reality having recently attended the three day Perch Stool workshop with Jon, Alastair and his team. What an amazing three days!

Read MoreThe Perch Stool course is a great opportunity to learn a wide range of skills in carving, turning and chair construction, and come away after three days with a finished project. The instructor, Jon Grant, keeps the class on track to be able to finish the project, but also gives the class a relaxed atmosphere.

Read MoreMy Perch Stool course with Jon Grant just before Corona Virus hit was a most enjoyable 3 days. Very happy with the result, the 4 coats of shellac really did the trick to bring out the mahogany grain… Will definitely be in touch in the not too distant future to enrol in another woodworking journey of discovery.
