Hands-on timber detailing masterclass led by Russwood for architects, followed by refreshments and a Christmas social.
Russwood are heading to Thames LIDO on Tuesday 1 December for a timber detailing masterclass, organised by RIBA Berkshire. It's a hands-on, in-person workshop aimed at architects and specifiers who want to build their confidence in timber detailing and avoid the common issues that crop up on site. The session is led by the technical team at Russwood, a company founded in 1990 and based in Newtonmore in the Scottish Highlands, so you're getting guidance from people who've been working with timber for over three decades.
The evening combines best-practice guidance with a live drawing critique, run in an interactive format rather than a lecture. The critique is where it gets practical: you'll see real drawings being picked apart and improved in front of you, which is usually the best way to spot where things can go wrong before they actually do. Once the workshop wraps up, the night continues with complimentary refreshments and a Christmas social, so there's plenty of time to chat through the details with the Russwood team and other architects over a drink.
