Amos Marchant’s Masterclass with Middlesex University’s Art&Design Club was based on a traditional chair maker’s “bodging challenge” which he had taken part in with a group of designers including William Warren and Gitta Gschwendtner in 2010.
Amos adapted this exercise to inspire the Club members to use basic materials and workshop tools to make wooden structures in a short space of time. Working in groups, the Club members enjoyed using unfamiliar tools and experimenting with strength and stability.
