We can also work with you on developing any skills you want to focus on.

You will be given a quick health and safety walkthrough for the various tools and machines you will be using.

There’s lots of books here for design inspiration but it is better to have some idea of what you would like to do as this can be quite time consuming.

Please bring a sketchbook to help with designing.
