Aditi Sargeant

Aditi joined our team in April, 2023. They were working as a kids’ woodworking instructor at Two Sheds Workshop and had finally decided to bite the bullet and start an apprenticeship. We’d just “put the word out” that we were looking for an apprentice, and they were pointed in our direction. After a few weeks of trial shifts and when we were all satisfied, it was made official. 

They previously worked as a prosthetic and orthotic technician, where they developed an attention to detail and an understanding of precision manufacturing. They have brought this knowledge to their woodwork and can use it in a more artistic way. In their own work they’ve begun to explore a quirky and somewhat playful design style.

Aditi has the rare gift of being a true team player. Through the COVID years, we felt it was unwise to take on an apprentice, but now we wonder how we got by for so long. They moonlight as our workshop photographer and have redefined the way we tell the story of our work.

Aditi was born and raised in Canberra. When not in the workshop, they can be found camping, hanging out with their dog Opal or going to music festivals.
