The best advice I ever received about light (from Howard Brandston) was to ask this one question over and over again;
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE?
This masterclass is not about selecting decorative lighting (pendants etc) although we do touch on that subject, it's about crafting the right light throughout a home through understanding how light behaves and how you can control it.
Our interactive darkroom studio allows you to experience the impact of light and see for yourself how the maths and science of architectural lighting design is applied.
Lighting is the final piece of the interior design puzzle – and you must know what you want to see to make the best choices for your lighting design.
MASTERCLASS Agenda
Why light matters – how light impacts on our wellbeing and changes our experience
First Principles of Vision and Light – Understanding how we see, and how we can create better illuminated environments

The MINT lighting design process
Throughout the day we will have round table discussions, experiment with light and explore your questions. The class is limited to 6 people to ensure we have plenty of time for everyone to get the most out of the day.
We start at 10am and work through a catered lunch, wrapping up around 3pm.
$950 + GST covers the MASTERCLASS, workbook, morning and afternoon tea and a light lunch.
