The Snowdon School of Furniture, curated by our Vice President Lord Snowdon and located at Barley Court on the Highgrove estate, delivers two flagship courses for designers and makers, focused on developing furniture making skills using British timber.

The CREATE programme aims to bridge the gap between further education and the workplace by sharing a modern approach to traditional skills and exposure to industry through workshop trips and visiting lecturers, whilst the Snowdon Summer School is an intensive, seven-day masterclass for existing makers.
