Skills development
We work to create solid professional careers as craftspeople through expert training and apprenticeships.
Craft as a career
We work with schools to put craftsmanship on the map early in a child's life, as a fulfilling and meaningful career choice.
Promoting wellbeing
Our courses focus on making for wellbeing: the art of creating with our hands has a proven positive impact on our mental wellbeing.
Our Courses
Trainees and apprenticeships
Companies sponsor apprentices who learn the craft from our experts. Primarily aimed at young local residents not in work or education, our programme teaches skills such as joinery, carpentry, cabinet making metalwork and paint effects.
On-the-job training done alongside an accreditation at the Building Crafts College and empowers trainees to become independent craftspeople.
Company away-days
Be a maker for a day with your team at Goldfinger. We host tailored workshops that are fun and full of facts on sustainability too. We happily arrange for breakfast, lunch, dinner and everything in between.

Book a Goldfinger workshop for any group of 10-35. Have some hands-on fun making picture frames, Christmas wreaths, plant pot holders, signs and more. Great for co-workers and friends alike.
