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.

It is recommended that you have taken Year 9 Hard Materials with Mr Nicholson, but not compulsory.
