This one-year course is aimed at those who might be looking for a career as a maker in an employed role. No distractions, no designing to worry about – just pure making. This may appeal to those who want to concentrate just on making, maybe find the design element daunting or are just not interested in it at this stage of their learning or career.

You will cover subjects that will enable your skill level to grow as a maker, even if you have no experience with woodworking to begin with. A high level of craftsmanship is taught with attention to detail being paramount.

Three or four projects are usually completed in the year, the projects can be set by us or be designed by you with guidance from your tutor. Our photographer will produce your portfolio, which you can use to help gain employment. We also often have guest lecturers and take trips to exhibitions.

Our year course lasts a full 50 weeks, with 1 week off in August and another over the Christmas period. So, you can get as much practical experience as possible during your time here.
