Veneer Laminations: Making a Sculptural Lamp with Marc Fish

I recently completed the 50-week Furniture Design & Maker course at Robinson House Studio, which I thoroughly recommend.
The course is incredibly comprehensive, covering everything from fine woodworking basics to advanced making techniques. All of this is expertly taught by Theo, Marc, Tor, and the entire team, who generously share their extensive knowledge and practical experience.
The school’s modern, well-equipped workshop is also used by Marc’s world-class team of makers, whose presence adds a real-world element that significantly enhances the value of the course for everyone involved.
What sets this course apart from others is its strong focus on design and business skills.
It was a fabulous and hugely rewarding experience that I would unreservedly recommend to anyone interested in furniture design and making.
