Introduction to Technical Drawing: Front, Side, Section and Plan Elevations and 3D Drawing - led by SPAB member Frank de Caires from On-Change

This interactive session will explore how to measure and create a layout and drawing of an object (and the same principles can be used for drawing a house, building or furniture). This can be useful when planning any building works, construction or designing objects. We will try out methods during the session together.

Tools and Materials needed:

- A3 paper (and you can sellotape 2 pieces of A4 together)
- Pencil / Pen
- 30/60 Degree Set Square (we can improvise on this if you don’t have one with cardboard)
- Ruler (300 mm) with measurements in mm (millimetres)

About the skill-share: While we can't hold our usual Regional Group events and visits, we are keeping our wondeful network of members connected by holding virtual skill-share sessions. Run by members for members, these short and informal online sessions are a great way to find out more about the expertise and experience of your fellow members. We are really grateful to all the members who have volunteered to lead a session so far. If you are interested in leading a session please get in touch with our membership team: membership[at]spab.org.uk
