A space for sharing.

Get registered, no homework required.
The Assembly is our way of gathering everyone together. Add your name to the register and you’ll get occasional notes from the schoolhouse… first dibs on workshops, a peek behind the scenes, and the odd bit of news from the bench and the wheel.
No detentions, light reading only, no tests at the end.
