Yurt Workshop, established in 2004, makes high quality, authentic yurts adapted for the European climate.
The workshop staff include three seamstresses and three frame-makers.
Directors: Rob & Ratna Matthews
Rob is a highly respected yurt maker and pioneer of high quality and authentic yurts made in Europe. In fact, the Yurt Workshop is the only workshop in Europe making authentic yurts we know of. As a result the Yurt Workshop remains unique in offering high quality authentic designs made for the European climate.
Rob and Ratna first learnt yurt making from one of Europe's most experienced yurt makers and then travelled to central Asia to continue training and refining their technique and design.
Ratna, in addition to her work in organising the accounts and suppliers, is extremely good seamstress and, with the help of Chiara and Nicky, she makes all the covers for our yurts. She trained in the UK with a well known yurt maker.
Heiko, a gifted wood worker, and Neil a time served carpenter assist Rob in making all the frames.
Their aim is to bring high quality and authenticity to European made yurts.
If you need any help or advice in choosing your yurt don't hesitate to get in touch.
