"Students had often asked me if they could work with HI-MACS and Corian. That's why I wanted to learn more about processing these sustainable materials," says Huub Kunkels, instructor and workshop coordinator at Summa.
I interned as a furniture maker at Bone Interieurwerken. It was a tremendously educational experience: there's so much technology to discover when working with these materials.
