  • We are well located for bus routes in and out of Oxford and London.

    The reliable Oxford Tube service runs to London via Lewknor every 10-20 mins 24/7. The nearest stop is Speedwell street about a 10 minute walk away.

    Oxford Train Station is only a half an hour walk or a short bus ride away.

    Gloucester Green Bus Station is a 25 minute walk or short bus ride and has regular national express and mega buses going all over the country.

  • We really enjoy having teens on our courses and welcome students of secondary school age as long as they are accompanied by a participating parent or guardian. We've had kids as young as 12 join us on our Workshop Experience Days and our Woodwork Weekenders and they've loved it!

  • You are very welcome to come along with no experience at all, we get plenty of people joining us without ever having picked up a tool in their life! We have a maximum of 5 students per course with 2 of us tutoring, this means we are able to offer plenty of one-to-one tuition allowing us to adapt to students of all abilities.

  • We get a lot of students staying over for the duration of our courses.

    Our location near the centre of Oxford makes it a nice area to stay where you can easily go for a wander and do some sightseeing in the evening.

    Alternatively some of our students choose to stay in small towns outside Oxford with cheaper accommodation (Abingdon is a popular option) and take a bus or short drive in the morning.

    If staying in Oxford itself we recommend staying within a distance you are comfortable walking as driving within the city can be very slow especially during weekdays.

  • We've had students of all ages from 12 - 87 and often have a complete mix within a single course! We love the fact our students attract such a mix of ages and genders.

  • All of our courses follow a set project and structure. This allows us to provide quality and fairly divided tuition to our students with the appropriate tools and space. All our courses focus a different technique and the likelihood is one of them will teach you everything you need to complete the project you have in mind at home. Email hello@lulajames.co.uk and we'll help you work out which course will give you the skills you need.

  • Absolutely (its 2024 btw!). We email attendees to collect all dietary requirements and preferences beforehand. Generally lunch includes a range of sandwiches and "picnicy" buffet including foods like falafels, humous, sausage rolls, scotch eggs, salad etc. We mix it up a bit depending on the groups requirements.
