Design! The Secret Weapon
You want it to work, be well-built, AND look good! You need the complete design process, so to this end Graham will lead you through the three essential ‘Pillars of Design’: Function, Construction, and Proportion. ‘Function’ will teach you how to make sure that what you build is right for the job it has to do: it’s all about purpose, function, and ergonomics. ‘Construction’ will teach you what you need to know about the material — how to choose the right wood, the appropriate construction technique, and the best joinery for the purpose. ‘Proportion’ lets you in on the secrets of good design, so that no matter how good (or bad) your finish, no matter how tight (or loose) your joints, your finished project will LOOK good and be an object of beauty, grace, and felicitous design that you can be proud of and pass down through future generations.

August 30–September 3 (Monday–Friday)
