Make it your own. One of a kind.

Custom workshop classes or commissions for the idea you’ve always had.

Our Custom Class Process

Step 1: Discussion

The commissioning process begins with an open discussion where clients share their vision; whether it's detailed specifications, inspiration images, or just a starting concept. Our team provides expert guidance, helping refine ideas into feasible projects that balance aesthetics with structural integrity.

This collaborative first step ensures we fully understand your needs before moving to the design phase, whether for custom furniture or personalized workshop experiences.

Step 2: Design

Once we've established the project direction, we create 3D mockups that bring your vision to life. These realistic renderings help clients understand proportions, materials, and the final form of their piece. For workshop participants, we simultaneously develop a customized lesson plan outlining the building process.

This transparent planning stage allows for adjustments before any commitments are made, ensuring complete alignment with your expectations before fabrication begins.

Step 3: Build

After finalizing designs and securing deposit payments, we will schedule the hands-on workshop sessions or fabrication timeline. Clients either embark on their making journey under our expert guidance or anticipate delivery of their professionally crafted piece.

Every project culminates in that special moment when initial ideas become heirloom-quality pieces ready for their new home.

Our transparent pricing structure

The material cost component of your workshop covers all physical elements required to bring your project to life. This includes wood selection (such as local, sustainable hardwoods, premium Birch Plywood or even imported materials), as well as hardware and finishes (such as hinges, knobs, pulls, etc)

For full transparency, we will quote you approximately 150% of total material cost, for redundancy purposes. This allows breathing room for any defects from the supplier or for the participant to make mistakes during the build.

Our team will gladly advise on material choices to match your budget and project requirements.

Material Cost

All custom workshops consist of 2 components: the Material cost and the Workshop Time.

Workshop Time

Workshop time is priced at $300 per class for a full day (10am-6pm including a 1-hour lunch break). This comprehensive rate includes workshop space, all tools/equipment used, and dedicated instructor guidance throughout your session.

The duration needed depends entirely on your project's complexity - from simple handheld objects achievable in hours to furniture pieces requiring multiple sessions. We'll provide realistic time estimates during the design phase so you can plan accordingly.

Here’s what our past clients shared

  • I recently commissioned a custom work desk from Ugly Woodworking company, and I couldn't be more pleased with the result. The quality of their craftsmanship is immediately evident and they went above and beyond to make sure all my specifications were met to a T. […]

    The curved desktop is like nothing I've seen in the commercial furniture shops which is truly what makes this a unique piece.

    - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Germaine Swan

  • Thank you for coming down and conducting the workshop! As mentioned, the children and the teachers had enjoyed and learnt much from the experience. 

    May the opportunity arise for collaboration again!

    - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Joyce Chee, Bucket House Preschool

  • Glennard was very open to working on a project with my requirements and intentions in mind. […] I wanted some control over the design thought process and to pick up knowledge along the way, being open to making mistakes and learning to rectify them on the fly.

    Glennard was very knowledgeable and a great mentor. […]

    - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gary Mok

  • I greatly appreciate how patient and knowledgable Glennard is, whenever I ask questions or provide my own design input. He was invested in creating a quality product and answered my queries with no trouble. […]

    The end result was an armour stand which fulfilled my requirements and is fully functional, along with a practical skill that I gained!

    - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kevin

  • Glennard was clear in instruction and helped us along the way whenever we needed assistance. It was a bit more tiring than we expected but it gave us a good insight into the art of woodworking.

    Overall was a good, productive time, and we had a lovely memory box to take home!!
