ENGAGE WITH US

Commissioning one of our makers

Commissioning a piece of contemporary Australian wood craft offers an engaging and rewarding collaboration between you and the maker.

Discussing and refining your requirements with someone who is passionate and committed to their work is a journey much greater than the realisation of a physical object.

Joining our organisation as a Maker

Studio Woodworkers Australia Limited (SWA) was established to promote Australia’s finest designer makers and artists working in wood. We embrace a life dedicated to studio practice and high craft that seeks to express the qualities of a living material. Makers can join as either General or Accredited Members.
