What is it and why should I do it?

In this elective students will learn about:

• the properties of timber
• design communication via design and plan drawings
• how to design and construct a small item of furniture.

Students will be required to:

• understand workshop safety and use a range of hand and power tools to produce various joinery methods.
• produce a design folio containing the components of the design process such as the investigation, notes and sketches on project ideas, design drawings and production plans.
