This includes ensuring the safety of staff and students, organising workshops and open access sessions, and running the store where students can buy materials.</p> <p>As a Technician, Harrison sometimes runs workshops as part of Workshop Wednesdays, a rolling program where students can learn skills which may include wood turning or joinery, as well as offering assisted open access to the workshop.
