1-Week Mirror Making Course with Lamination and Hand Shaping

Mirror Making Course Content

In just one week you will create a beautiful mirror (with shelves) designed by award winning designer William Acland. This mirror making project serves as both a stand alone piece of fine furniture as well as a  fantastic teaching aid, as it covers the exciting and creative techniques of lamination, jointing and hand shaping. These skills are fantastic for the furniture making beginner but they also add valuable skills to the skill set of the experienced wood worker. Not only will you create a major laminated component with shaped edge profile, you will also cover numerous other woodworking techniques along the way; precision jointing, accurate assembly and wood finishing, to name just a few. It’s amazing to see these sophisticated mirrors come together in such a short amount of time.

All tools and timber are provided and the mirror is yours to take away and treasure.

We have a maximum of 5 students on our short courses which allows for our dedicated tutors to provide that much needed close supervision.

All courses take place in our new ‘short course’ facility which is situated next to the long course ‘Designer Maker’ bench room. This allows our short course students to observe our long course students hard at work creating their beautiful pieces of fine furniture. The atmosphere is one of creativity and learning and everyone is welcome.
