Our 2 term Designer Maker course has a clear set of goals. To teach the craft of cabinet making and furniture design to an exceptionally high standard whilst making a series of beautiful pieces of fine furniture designed by award winning furniture designer Will Acland during the set project phase of the course and by our talented students during the self designed project phase of the course. All pieces will be designed and made to the highest of standards and will be taken home to be enjoyed for generations to come.
No formal qualifications or previous woodworking experience is required but a passion and energy for learning new skills are a must.
