Thank you for the class reviews!

I went for the Woodworking for beginners A course, and I had such a great time while also feeling that I learnt valuable skills in both woodworking and how to use powertools safely. I was happy with the project I made and Kevin is a great teacher. I strongly recommend this course to anyone who is curious about woodworking, and I will definitely return for the B course.

Träffa en av våra nya kursledare– Sten Selander!

Sten Selander är konsult, utbildare och praktiker med en lång karriär inom design, produktion och innovationsarbete i kreativa branscher. Han har en gedigen bakgrund inom traditionellt hantverk, med utbildning i möbelsnickeri, inredning och fri konst vid Capellagården samt erfarenhet som verkstadsansvarig inom snickeri och möbelproduktion.
Hans arbetssätt kombinerar strategiskt tänkande med materialkännedom – där idé möter utförande. I sina kurser på Refab Lab fokuserar Sten på praktiska färdigheter, process och problemlösning, med utgångspunkt i både industriell erfarenhet och klassiskt hantverk.

"På Refab Lab handlar kurserna inte om prestation eller perfektion, utan om nyfikenhet, skaparglädje och gemenskap. Målet är att deltagarna ska känna sig trygga, inspirerade och gå hem med något de faktiskt byggt själva."

I sommar kommer Sten att undervisa i två nya klasser under dagtid - Gör ett användbart skrin trä och Möbelrenovering. Kurserna hålls på svenska och engelska.

Meet one of our new teachers, Sten Selander!

Sten Selander is a senior consultant, educator, and hands-on maker with a long career spanning design, production, and innovation across creative industries. Sten has a solid foundation in traditional craftsmanship, with formal training in cabinet making, furniture design, and fine arts from Capellagården, as well as practical experience managing woodworking workshops.

His approach combines strategic thinking with material understanding—bridging concept and ex*****on. In his courses at Refab Lab, Sten focuses on practical skills, process, and problem-solving, drawing from both industrial experience and traditional craft methods.

"At Refab Lab, the courses are not about performance or perfection, but about curiosity, the joy of creation and community. The goal is for participants to feel safe, inspired and go home with something they have created themselves."

During summer, Sten will teach two new classes during the day- Make a useful wooden box and Furniture refinishing. Instruction is held in Swedish and English.
