Drafting Course June 8 & 22
A new course being offered by your local chapter of the National Kitchen and Bath Association.
CLICK HERE to download registration >>
CLICK HERE to download Calgary Presentation >>
While design software is being used more and more in our industry, many of us still find great benefit in being able to prepare a hand-drawn perspective drawing, floor plan, or elevation in order to communicate our ideas to our clients. This exciting and challenging course will provide you with the basic drafting skills and techniques you need to perfect your drawings and impress your clients. During this two-part course your certified instructor will focus on the everyday applications of drafting techniques including: the use of drafting tools, line weight conventions, the universal graphic language, floor plans, elevations, sections, and axonometric 3D drawings.
This course will be especially beneficial for anyone planning on writing the NKBA’s design exams to become a Certified Kitchen Designer or Certified Bath Designer.
Space is limited, so please return the attached registration form with your payment. For more information, please feel free to contact Jolanda Slagmolen-Flores by email or at (403) 255-8234.
