Our T level learners welcomed Hayley and Eddie from Odies UK for a masterclass and workshop on various techniques for finishing surfaces.
In furniture making, attention to detail is everything. Our visitors showed great passion for their profession which no doubt translated to our learners. Learners had a hands on session by selecting and practising suitable finishes for a desired outcome (whether by hand or with different machines that Odies Uk kindly brought into our workshop). Our visitors demonstrated and gave our learners the chance to practise a range of different finishes – from matt to high shine.
Our visitors also talked about the business structure of Odies Uk and what sets them apart as a brand. As Odies Uk has a Toy Safe certificate and we were cover legislation and standards as part of the T level course, this talk was particularly valuable.
“Odies UK prioritise green credentials and are passionate about imprinting the importance of this topic onto the next generation of furniture makers. Our visitors are both very accomplished demonstrators and brought so much energy to make what could be an overlooked subject one that truly came to life in our workshop!” Derek.
