Furniture and Product Design (Design)

Course Description

This course equips learners with the essential skills of furniture and product design and making. There are practical classes using hands tools and machinery as well as drawing and design modules. Each student has the opportunity to develop skills so they can produce their own unique pieces of furniture. Learners have access to a design studio, a well-equipped woodwork room and workshop.

The course has a strong emphasis on process and design, essential disciplines for the generation of design ideas and the production of finished pieces of furniture.

You will have the opportunity to develop a unique range of skills thanks to classes in 2D CAD (Computer Aided Draughting), ceramics and printmaking. Work experience is an integral part of the course. The students work with a realistic design brief to create functioning furniture for public use.
