We help you make stuff

The Workbench Collective is Northwest Arkansas’s premiere community woodshop. We focus on education and community involvement through age appropriate children’s woodshop courses, shop memberships, and adult workshops.

Students 2nd - 12th grade can participate in courses centered around projects designed to teach tool safety and inspire creativity.

Shop memberships allow anyone in the community to utilize our professional tools and workspace to learn and experience the art of woodworking.

Through project classes and private bookings, individuals and groups can join us for a fun event learning new techniques and making one of a kind unique objects.

Mentors and Instructors

We love to make, but we love to help others discover their ability to make even more.

  • Founder/Instructor

    As a trained Industrial Engineer looking for a creative outlet, I turned to woodworking. I was inspired by the legacy of my Papo who crafted a humble child’s rocking chair. This chair originally made for my mother, now brings joy to his Great Great Granddaughter. It’s my hope to help you find a passion to create meaningful treasures which bring this same joy to your family for generations.

    - Clay Ferguson

  • Founder/Instructor

    Mr. Preston has been teaching students for years and enjoys shepherding kid’s creative energy into livelong skills.
