Welcome to Multicraft 2018

2018 Bigger & better ideas than ever before!

Welcome to AIS Multicraft workshop 2018.  This year I have some amazing new designs & ideas that I can't wait to share with my students.  I have managed to buy some ataahua (beautiful) leather hides as well as a new set of kam presses. Watch this space.  

Here are some finished products from St Peter & Paul's school.  Very good quality detail.

Check out our new kam press.  This tool puts domes into materials like rubber & leather.  We are learning new vocabulary - sockets, studs, caps, die.

The first cycle of AIS students have completed 2 projects now.  They are on the road to becoming experts with using machinery like drill presses & scroll saws, & hand tools like hack saws & burring tools.  Check out these fantastic wind chimes.

Shoe Making Fun.

Mrs Robinson attended Shoe School.

The class was held at Adam's Art Gallery.

So many choices of leather & bits'n'bobs.
