Tutor Groups

melbourne school of fine woodworking offers weekly day and evening Tutor Groups where members design and make their own furniture under the guidance of a professional designer and furniture maker.

Members have the opportunity to broaden their skills, learn the correct use of hand tools and how to operate the machinery safely.

Bench Sessions

These are 4 hour non-teaching daytime sessions available to current Tutor Group members who have successfully completed two tutor group terms and machine instruction and have been Signed-Off. Each Tutor Group member is entitled to one 'Bench Session' per week.* These sessions are an ideal way to access the facilities to devote extra time towards completing your project and to meet other members to exchange ideas.

* Bench sessions may not be available when msfw workshops and short courses are scheduled.

Annual Membership Fee

Payment of the Annual Membership fee is a condition of continuing membership. Membership of the Club entitles all members, whether or not attending a tutor group, to:

• attend Member nights organised by the Club;
• attend short courses organised by the Club at Member rates;
• receive the Club's newsletter and Club mail outs;
• voting rights as set out in the Club's constitution, and
• the discounts negotiated for Club members with suppliers of various woodworking products.

# If we are unable to offer you a position in a particular weekly Tutor Group when you join msfw, we will place your name on the waiting list. This ensures you receive priority when a vacancy arises.

As a Tutor Group member, you are also entitled to attend the specialist short courses and weekend workshops at discounted member rates and receive invitations to special events.
