Description
Docent: Lizzy
This course provides an introduction to the different processes for making bentwood components. Â Small practical assignments preceded by theoretical explanations teach the student to bend wood using heat, steam, by building up the curved component from layers (lamination) and also by means of a few less frequently used methods (cut MDF, flexible wood, thermo-formable plywood.)Â Through these exercises the student also gains insight into the properties of a steam box, making molds and the vacuum press.
The course consists of 2 parts: an online part where you will find theoretical information and a practical part that you follow at a suitable location.
You will receive access to the online section immediately after completing your registration. For the practical day, you register on the agreed date and location.
Location: Bulb, Meulestedekaai 1, 9000 Ghent

Many thanks Lizzy for this very inspiring training. We appreciated the quality of the workshop very much, both the theoretical preparation as well as the on-site practical session. We received a very good overview of the different bending techniques with insightfully hands-on exercises. It was all very well prepared and great to have such a passionate teacher explaining us this very interesting dimension in the world of woodworking. Many thanks again!
