Drawing is an essential part of the woodworking process, allowing ideas to be explored and refined before making begins. In this masterclass, Ian Parker will demonstrate how drawing can be used as a practical tool for design rather than a purely artistic exercise.
The session will cover proportion, perspective and the translation of three-dimensional ideas into clear, workable drawings. Through demonstration and guided examples, participants will gain insight into how drawing supports decision-making and problem-solving in the workshop.
