The goal at the Errington School of Woodwork and Design
is the pursuit of excellence.
It is difficult to decide where to begin
with any real instruction in fine woodwork because there
are so many things
to consider.
Our attempt to deal with this problem is to find many starting
points in an attempt to bring them together, to enable
a comprehensive understanding of several elements in
a simple
progression, for actually making an object from wood.
With this strategy in mind, it is important to remind oneself
about the organic nature of wood and the inevitable compromise
met by the designer
Woodwork design is the meeting of the geometry of architecture
with the hard fibrous structure of wood, and the outcome
is a distillation of the texture, shape and proportion, which
the medium evokes.
The making of fine woodwork is about care, accuracy and
skill with tools. These are the things that are taught at
the Errington
School of Woodwork and Design.
