Appropriate Paper-based Technology - Short courses in the UK
APT Courses in the UK - 2012
Courses are necessarily small due to space but this gives flexibility to adapt the content according to participants' needs and interests. Participants keep items made.
APT Week Course - 5 days
This is a residential course. The course gives time to learn and practice some of the different techniques used particularly to make furniture. The interesting challenge is to make the design strong and able to take the pressure and tensions of everyday use. Within these bounds there is room for creativity. Measuring and designing is included.
COST:
£350/person, includes accommodation and meals

Saturday 2nd - Wednesday 6th June 2012
This time the course is starting on the Saturday to help working people not loose too many days of annual leave.
