The timber and metal working tutorials run in the workshop were a great way to quickly learn and/or familiarise yourself with the properties and possibilities of each material. I found that after the tutorials i was much less inhibited when working with materials or asking for advice because I now had a very basic understanding of what was possible in the work shop. From this rudimentary understanding of how to join timber and how to fold, cut and join metal I was able to build a greater base of knowledge through experimentation.
After completing the tutorials I though, how valuable would this basic knowledge have been first or second year? We would have ceased to see the work shop as the realm of the industrial and interior designers and started to experiment ourselves.
