For the past 4 months I’ve had the privilege of teaching Architecture students how to make furniture at Unimelb with the best team. It’s impressive to see how much they’ve achieved in such a short period of time. The faculty is holding a winter party showcasing all the students work and open to the public next week. Feel free to join! https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/msdx-winter-opening-party-tickets-1281895657419?aff=oddtdtcreator&fbclid=PAQ0xDSwK-qW1leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABpwxiCUhi1CLxT5_idCzy1GVYfDs1FOoUSt6narSOQzrOf6jqD-ytnx_Voenp_aem_5NsjpZUFahYoTFuDf0asNA
