Como Approach Workshops

Join us in a private joinery business for a workshop which will cover an introduction to working with timber, a brief history of the sash window and an overview of the construction, installation and repair of sash windows. As this event is mostly lecture based, no prior skills are required to attend. However, those with carpentry experience who would like to understand more about how to work on sash windows will find this workshop particularly rewarding.

The session will end with a Q and A with the instructor, Ian Goddard, who has over 35 years’ experience in joinery and cabinet making in both in Australia and the United Kingdom where he originally trained. All participants receive digital certificates of completion at the conclusion of the workshop and an information sheet.

Ray Wiltshire is a highly knowledgeable and skilled Heritage Plasterer with many years’ experience in the industry. He is also a regular trainer at the Longford Academy in Tasmania. Previous lime mortar workshops held at Como and ran by Ray were very well received.

This workshop will be hands-on, allowing participants to repoint a section of wall at Barwon Grange. All participants with receive digital certificates of completion at the conclusion of the workshop.
