Please Note:
- All participants will be making their cases and boxes to the same dimensions. There will be no opportunity to vary the sizes of individual items, because that would involve individual cutting and greater demand for the tutor to work with individuals. It would prevent everyone completing their tasks within the day.
- However, you should note that the workshop is designed to enable you to take away the necessary skills and, with the aid of the written procedures provided, complete your own projects with confidence in your own time.
