A year of real skill, on us.

We give a full year of woodworking to young makers with the passion for it, and to people for whom cost would otherwise be the only thing in the way.

Apply for a place

Two reasons we keep a few places open.

For passionate talent

Some kids and teens take to making in a way you can see straight away. When the spark is there, we want to grow it. A scholarship gives that maker a full year to go deep, with real tools and real guidance.

For those facing hardship

A year of classes is a real cost, and we never want money to be the reason a willing maker stays out. If the workshop is what you want and the fees are out of reach, this is for you. Need-and-passion based, judged with care.

A full one-year place, all in.

One scholarship covers a complete year of EITHER Junior Woodworker (ages 6 to 12) OR Kemahiran Hidup (ages 13 and up). Everything you need to take part is included.

It is a two-way promise.

A scholarship is a gift of a year, and it works best when it goes both ways. Here is what we ask of you in return.

Show up weekly

Turn up for class through the year. Consistency is where the skill is built, and your place is one someone else would have loved.

Care for the tools and space

Treat the workshop, the machines, and the shared space the way the next maker would want to find them. Clean bench, sharp tools, no waste.

Give back

Lend a hand at a Pesta Bina community day, or mentor a newer maker once you have found your feet. Pay the year forward.

Honest and personal, in five steps.

Places are limited each intake, so we take real care choosing. Here is the whole path, with nothing hidden.
