On this intense course you will learn the process of how to develop your designs in 3D through a series of steps, from initial sketch model making and drawing, material experiments, testing and exploring your designs to finally producing a client presentation appearance model of your design helped by in5 trained workshop technicians, as well as your tutor.
This course may be taken separately, but follows on naturally from Furniture Design | Theory to 3D course where you will have learnt the Design Process and have the foundations for Professional Furniture Design Practice.
