Fifteen people started the course on 3rd September 2007, and our sixteenth student joined on Monday 10th. The students come from backgrounds as diverse as building, dramatic arts, geology, engineering, philosophy and the drinks industry. Their average age is 35. On the first morning of the course they were at their benches, working, as soon as morning tea break finished.
They are now down on the workshop floor, working on their boats...or in one case a dining table.
Read their stories; why they have joined the Academy, what they hope to do at the end of the 38 weeks, and watch their boats progress in 'Student Profiles'
