Long before power tools, traditional timber framing was crafted with generations of accumulated knowledge. In Australia this practice continues to evolve, adapting centuries-old European joinery traditions to local timbers, climates and building codes.

 

Join Chris Nance, founder of Traditional Timber Frames and one of Australia's most accomplished post-and-beam practitioners, as he draws on over 130 commissioned frames and nearly two decades of practice to share what traditional timber framing looks like in Australia today.

 

Chris will share how he has adapted the oak framing techniques he learned in Wales to Australian hardwoods and architectural contexts; and the practical considerations that come with designing, engineering and certifying handcrafted timber frames within the Australian regulatory environment.

 

Registration is free - earn CPD points by attending.

He'll also reflect on his role as an educator, having taught timber framing in the UK, France and across Australia, and what it takes to pass on a craft that demands both deep material knowledge and hands-on skill.
