Schedule + Overview:
- Monday two weeks before starting day Friday : 18:00 until 21:00 (learning about our design and material list)
- Friday starting day : 18:00 until 21:00 (Learning and practicing the new machines and tools)
- Saturday : 10:00 until 18:00 (approaching the projects)
- Sunday : 10:00 until 18:00 (finishing the projects)
This 3-day workshop (22 hours) is for anyone who wants to improve their woodwork abilities and take the next step in their creativity! Throughout the course, participants will build a cabinet of their own design, choosing the materials they need. This includes learning the basics of making a drawer with metal guides, discovering how and when to use concealed hinges (or "Topft scharnieres"), and figuring out how to practically install them.
The course will be structured as part theory, part practice! We will teach you how to approach a project, from drawing with measurements to creating a list of materials (Monday two weeks before the project starts) evening from 18:00 until 21:00). The workshop includes time to conceptualise and draft your own idea. From there, we will build upon your knowledge of the tools and machines you already know and learning some other new tools that you didn't use in the beginner's workshop (like a router and biscuit joiner or "lamello maschine").
With the help of WWA teachers, you will then take your idea from concept to completion alongside a small group of participants. By the end of the course, you'll have a completely handmade, ready-to-use piece of furniture of your own design. Your only limitations are size, amount of material, and expertise!
This workshop will be held in English.
