Welcome to the Wood Workshop
The WaldWerkstatt makes crafts accessible to women and FLINTA individuals – with courage, community, and practical skills for a self-determined life in the countryside.
Forest Workshop:
Experience craftsmanship –
in the middle of the Swedish forest.
On three hectares of biologically diverse mixed forest lies my small forest farm with a workshop, material storage, six chickens, two cats, and a dream. Here in the forest, we can tinker and experiment with handicrafts in both rain and shine.

Here, in a small group and without pressure, you can develop practical skills that will benefit you in everyday life or on the path to self-sufficient farming. No prior knowledge…

For the course, the following applies:
– Small group size, individual support, safety briefing, no previous experience necessary, safe environment.
After the course, you'll know how to operate tools safely, work with wood, and produce your own firewood. Most importantly, however, you'll take away something much more significant: confidence in your own abilities – and perhaps the thought: A self-sufficient farm? Why not, indeed?
