Year 10 Industry Skills
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr P. Nicholson.
This full year course builds on from our Year 9 Hard Materials course and has been designed as a hands-on practical workshop based course.
The intention of this class is to continue to develop the skills learnt in Year 9 Hard Materials, through manufacturing products to a high standard.
The intention is to combine costing, marketing and manufacture to produce a class set of Briarcliffe Lawn chairs, as well as an additional set that can be sold to the wider community to finance each students' own chair, and potentially turn a profit.
Please note: Unlike our other Year 10 Hard Materials class, Year 10 Industry Skills will be limited as far as individual design and brief development is concerned.
If you love hands-on practical workshop classes, then this is the subject for you!
Numbers limited to 24
Painted examples of the Briarcliffe lawn chairs we will be making. These are often referred to a Cape cod chairs but our design is far superior with a concave back.
These will be made from solid Macrocarpa with a natural boiled linseed oil finish to highlight the grain.
Recommended Prior Learning
It is recommended that you have taken Year 9 Hard Materials with Mr Nicholson, but not compulsory.
Contributions and Equipment/Stationery
Each chair that is produced has a material value of $60. Therefore the base cost of the course is set at $60
Providing that an additional chair can be produced and marketed by each student within a class production line, we can offset this cost.
