At Waters and Acland, our furniture workshop and fine furniture school is a hub of creativity, passion, and dedication to the art of furniture design and craftsmanship. Since founding the workshop in 2006, our mission has been twofold: to create hand-crafted furniture of exceptional quality and to ensure the future of this timeless craft by offering woodworking courses that pass down our skills to the next generation of designers and makers.

So far, our journey has been a success. The outstanding work produced in both our commercial workshop and by the talented students on our Designer Maker Course have earned numerous awards, continually impressing those who experience it—whether in our Lake District showroom or at exhibitions across the UK.

Our deep love for furniture making fuels everything we do, and our furniture school’s success is testament to the incredible results that come from a powerful blend of expertise, dedication, and the determination to learn.
