🪵Traditional Carpentry Workshop – hands-on timber framing in practice🌍↟↟↟↟
If you want to learn traditional carpentry🪓
... and if you are looking for a meaningful way to spend a few days close to nature, learning real skills and working with your hands and other fellow carpenters – we invite you to join us in our woodworkshop in Harmony Valley✨
----------------------------------------------------------------
This is a new edition of Traditional Carpentry Workshop (TCB) - a practical, hands-on learining program focused on traditional carpentry and timber construction. This time, instead of building a single structure, we will work on different elements of existing buildings – learning how to build, repair and complete wooden constructions in real-life situations.
----------------------------------------------------------------
This workshop is:
🔹 5 days of focused learning, shared work and good time in the landscape of the Izera Mountains
🔹 Practice of traditional joinery – cutting and fitting different joints
🔹 Working with hand tools mostyl (selected power tools on individual demand)
🔹 Understanding different parts of the building and connection between them - walls, roof structures, window openings etc.
🔹 Learning by doing – real tasks, real materials, real structures
🔹 Time in the workshop, in nature, by the fire and in good company 🔥
The workshop is led by experienced instructors (one being english native speaker) from DRWA, supported by our team and the rhythm of Dolina Harmonii – the place, the hosts, delicious food from our garden and the surrounding landscape.
🌞 5 days of real work, learning and rest - you’ will leave with skills, experience, new understanding of wood and probably with a lot of inspiration to build on your own!

🔸 PROGRAM
During the workshop we will work together on different parts of wooden constructions, focusing on understanding structure through practice.
Instead of one fixed project, we will build and repair selected elements such as:
🔹 structural fragments of wooden walls
🔹 selected parts of roof construction
🔹 rails, window and door openings
🔹 various traditional joints and ways of fixing elements
We will guide you through the full process – from understanding the structure, through measuring and marking, to cutting and assembling.
Alongside practical work, we share theoretical knowledge in short talks and demonstrations, including:
🔹 hand tools and traditional methods of shaping wood
🔹 traditional joinery and structural logic
🔹 methods of connecting wooden elements
🔹 basics of wood protection and finishing
🔹 work organisation and safety
🔹 types of wood and choosing the right material
🔹 sourcing wood – from sawmill and forest
🔹 timber structures in traditional and modern use
