Langford dad leads age-old method to ‘teach the child and carve their character’
Warnberg says the 150-year-old Swedish method helps children build literacy, math and practical skills through guided woodworking projects.
- Langford carpenter Dylan Warnberg founded Sloyd Experience Canada, bringing a 150-year-old Swedish woodworking method to children in Langford and Victoria.
- While on a lunch break, Warnberg spotted an Instagram post showing kids at a workbench, then traveled to Colorado in February to study the method firsthand.
- "It's not so much teaching them to woodwork, more so letting the woodworking teach the child and carve their character," Warnberg said; the program supplements literacy and math skills for children balancing screen time.
- Students use tools within 10 to 15 minutes at personalized workstations fitted with a vice, creating a pencil sharpener as their first project before designing their own pieces.
- Classes operate from Warnberg's Langford home and Makespace North Park in Victoria, with summer programs launching at the Victoria location as Sloyd remains established in Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Norway but is new to Canadian classrooms.
