History

Established in 2016.

Splinter & Callous is a wood and metal workshop where people find their inner maker with expert guidance from master craftsmen. In January this year we opened our first workshop in Fairfield, Melbourne. We bought a few tools and machines, started working with local craftsmen and designers, and invited our friends in to build their first projects. It has been a massive success. Our friends love it, our craftsmen and designers are excited, and we've learnt so much about making it an awesome experience for members. We successfully reached our crowdfunding target, and now we're working towards opening a bigger and better workshop closer to the inner city, aiming to be ready by Spring. We're still running build projects up until we move, so come on in and be part of the movement.

Spending long hours working on abstract projects with no tangible outcomes, he developed a longing to do something hands-on. Unable to find a place that taught skills in both wood and metalwork, with the flexibility to do it at a time, place and pace that fitted into his life, he decided to do something about it. So together with a colleague and friend, Mike Simpson, they founded Splinter & Callous. Opening permanently in mid 2016, Splinter & Callous is a wood and metal workshop where people find their inner maker with expert guidance from master Craftsmen. It's a communal place where everyday people can learn real skills while building well-crafted things and connecting with others across a workbench. In contrast to the office environment many people find themselves in, Splinter & Callous gives you
