PORTA WORKSHOP & INTRO TO CARPENTRY with StorqueStudios
This is a 2 day Workshop at Equivalentbehaviour, where you will be making your own trestle table based on a newly conceived Storquestudios Design.
We will be harnessing the idea of porta (meaning "entrance", or "gate"), by accommodating panel doors in the completion of the design. Door panels will be provided, and you will learn how to restore and re-purpose them as table tops.

A little bit about the teacher:
KavczuK, Wojtek Kawczyk is the maker behind StorqueStudios, a mikro design practice based in London/Tottenham. Wojtek primarily works with wood waste and the revitalisation of ‘unwanted’ objects. He is focused on the principle of circular economy; working collaboratively with other makers, he captures available construction materials to understand it's inherent properties. Studying the navigation of form and behaviour becomes inspiration for new projects. His aim is to challenge the design discipline, by bringing unconventional solutions to the ‘table’. Through waste management, his practice opens up new studies of materials through function and form.
