School program: What do designers do?

We are hosting an onsite and live-streamed program for design tech students in conjunction with our current exhibition - ten years of Dowel Jones at the National Wool Museum. 

Hear from the designers themselves and ask your questions during the interactive Q&A session. 

Registration is essential. Complete the booking form below.


Dowel Jones is one of Australia’s leading design studios that is made in Geelong and celebrated globally. Founded in 2014 by Adam Lynch (Oberon High School alumn) and Dale Hardiman, this exhibition marks 10 years of this award-winning practice and celebrates their dynamic and playful approach to make furniture that is ‘anything but ordinary’.  

Featuring furniture, lighting, ceramics and textiles, join Dowel Jones as they transform the Museum gallery into a house filled with ten of their collaborative projects. Discover the Dowel Jones design process in which everyone plays a part - from manufacturers to fellow designers, emerging artists and local children, all are equal in the Dowel Jones creative community.
