Form in wood*

Course leaders: Per Svartling and Henrik Johansson

Welcome to explore and deepen your understanding of the material wood and learn how it can be shaped! During the course, you as a participant work from your own idea to create a wooden object; a simpler piece of furniture or an interior detail. The individual tutorial is given a lot of space and is important for you as a participant to feel confident that the level will be right for you. Through practical work, basic techniques for processing, assembly and surface treatment are practiced. The practical work at the planing bench is interspersed with joint briefings and lectures. We mainly focus on work with hand tools, but some machine work occurs.

Course fee

The course fee is SEK 6,800. The course takes place in collaboration with the Authority for Vocational College, Art and Culture, which means that the course fee can be kept lower than other courses. If Capellagården has to cancel the course, you always have the right to get back the course fee you have paid. If you need to withdraw your offer due to obstacles or illness, a refund will be made with 50% of the course fee. Please note that board and lodging are not included in the course fee, but are booked and paid for separately after admission. Material costs for individual works may be added and paid on site.

Application and admission

Form in wood is aimed at those who are beginners and want to learn about the basics of woodcraft and furniture carpentry. If you are thinking of doing the main course in furniture carpentry, this is a good preparation course.

We apply continuous admission. When a course has enough applicants to fill course and reserve places, we close the possibility to apply for the course. The selection for the course is based on your motivation in the application and the desire to have a spread in the group. We will provide feedback on an ongoing basis. That is, the time it takes to receive notification can vary. Notification is sent via email. Upon admission, information is given about payment and confirmation of course place. In case of non-payment, we offer the course place to the next person in line. In connection with admission, it is possible to book and pay for board and lodging.

You who apply must be 18 years old, except for the children/youth courses.

Board and lodging

In connection with admission, you are offered to book any board and lodging during the course week. There is a tennumber of different houses on the "storgården" with proximity to workshops and the Vingårdsalen. The rooms are varied with a simple standard, in the houses there is access to a shared kitchen, shower and toilet. Many houses/rooms thus have shared bathrooms. Full board is included for everyone who lives at Capellagården and our shared meals are largely based on vegetables from our organic garden.

Cost of board and lodging in a single room:
Board and lodging for two weeks: SEK 9,800.
Bed linen is included in the fee.

If Capellagården has to cancel the course, you always have the right to recover all fees for board and lodging. In case of cancellation, we charge an administrative fee of SEK 500.

We are usually able to offer rooms to anyone who wishes, but unfortunately cannot give any guarantee.

If you have arranged your own accommodation and want to eat together with your coursemates, it is fine to buy individual meals.
