Cabinet making courses which will change your life
About the school
Founded in 1985, the Chippendale International School of Furniture is one of the world’s leading furniture making and furniture design schools.
Every year our cabinet making courses buzz with up to 22 furniture designers learning the best of traditional and modern furniture making. See Student Gallery.
Our furniture school runs intensive nine-month furniture making courses, providing the equivalent of a three-year course in less than a year.
We also run, from time to time, short (five day) ‘taster’ courses, with the next one planned for 5th to 9th January 2015.
