1-Day Introduction to Traditional Timber Framing

Our 1-day workshops are offered on a range of individual Traditional Timber Frames topics.  These workshops can be a great introduction to the craft, where we cover the overall theory and provide practical demonstrations on the joinery principles, a detailed look at the design and handcrafting of structural timber joinery, through to a detailed look at the structural and aesthetic design principles ideal for architects and building designers.  

Each 1-day course is focussed on the individual topic and can be combined with other 1-day workshops to gain a deeper insight into the overall craft.  Our 1-day workshops are offered at various venues around Australia with student numbers set by the needs of the workshop.
