Intermediate & Advanced Furniture & Cabinetmaking Course (4 to 12 Weeks)
If you already have some woodwork skills (either as an amateur furniture-maker or a professional carpenter-joiner) I’m able to offer advanced bespoke furniture and cabinet-making courses designed to suit your particular aims, to fit in with your own availability and time available – these can last between 4 and 12 weeks.
A typical advanced course will take 6-8 weeks depending on your existing speed and skills-set. The first week is spent fine-tuning your tools, bringing your basic hand-making skills up to the requisite standard, and introducing the safe use of workshop machinery.
The bulk of the course is then spent designing and making of a high-quality cabinet, through which you will learn and improve upon a wide range of high-quality joinery, cabinetwork, veneering, drawer- and door-making, laminating, shaping and finishing skills.
An essential element of all the advanced course is the inclusion of design work from simple concept sketches through to fully-resolved scale drawings. This gives students practice in professional and creative drawing, and also an understanding in the importance of presenting and costing design proposals for their own clients.
Finally, within the duration of the whole course, I’m able to advise students in a variety of aspects of professional furnituremaking, from marketing through to client-relations.
