Next course date: 13th & 14th April 2024

This two-day weekend course is an intensive, hands-on introduction to the sophisticated techniques used in the composites industry. It’s perfect for complete beginners, as well as those with some knowledge or experience in working with composites, as you’ll learn more advanced techniques than the traditional ‘hand lay-up.’ You’ll gain an excellent understanding of the processes required to make a carbon fibre piece, from start to finish. We will also discuss applications in furniture and ways of incorporating these materials and techniques into your own designs and projects.
Tutor: Theo Cook.
