London Wood Figure Club – Monthly Meetup for Crafty Hands & Creative Minds

Hey London friends! Welcome to the London Wood Figure Club!

If you enjoy working with your hands, exploring creative ideas, or simply want to unwind and connect with fellow makers — this group is for you!
We meet once a month in London to craft wooden figures inspired by cute characters, food, and nature. Each session is beginner-friendly and offers hands-on experience with woodworking techniques like sanding, polishing, and assembling — no prior experience needed!

What to Expect at Each Meetup:

• A fun, hands-on session crafting your own wooden figure
• Tools, gloves, and safety gear provided
• A casual, relaxed space to meet new friends
• Group sharing of creative ideas and project tips
• Opportunities to join future DIY themes or contribute ideas

Our goal is to build a warm, open space for local creatives and hobbyists to come together, explore new skills, and share their love of hands-on art.

Our first meetup will be held at Covent Garden Market (Market Kitchen Area), where you’ll get to create your own mini Cubone, Gastly, or a fruit character out of wood. There will also be other small pieces for you to practice on as you learn how to safely use basic tools.
You’ll get hands-on experience with sanding, polishing, waxing, and even assembling facial features using a rotary tool.
I did a version of this last year with some friends and had an absolute blast. This year, we’re hoping to make it a regular meetup and grow a little community around it.
Come join us and give it a try!

Date:
July 20 – Choose a time slot that works for you (10 AM or 1 PM) and come say hi!

Fees:
We're just getting started, so we ask for a small fee to cover material and venue costs. In future meetups, we hope to reuse tools and provide wood materials for free — our main goal is to grow a community of makers :)

You’re welcome to RSVP here on Meetup, or just use the link to reserve your spot and choose your favorite figure ahead of time!
