Course programme

Course review:

Participants make a set project, a simple, elegant hardwood box with a veneered and inlaid lid, oiled, ‘smartHinges’ fitted and lined with leather. Choice of wood, veneer, inlay and leather colour.

Often participants go on to take one-to-one training during which elements that are touched on during the weekends can be investigated in far greater detail, either as standalone techniques or in the context for more complex complete projects.
