Grant is teaching PRO-5 Industry Grade, Artisan Made
If you’ve ever wanted to take a peek into the world of large-scale furniture manufacturing — here’s your chance. Join Grant Trick as he discusses the advantages afforded large manufacturers, including specialized machinery and the selection of supplies not available to most markets. He’ll demonstrate methods for applying skirts and sewing miters, plus tips for making these processes faster, cleaner, and more consistent. Whether you run a small artisan shop or a larger custom operation, you’ll gain practical knowledge you can apply directly to your own work — elevating quality, efficiency, and profitability while keeping the craftsmanship and care you’re known for.
