In this workshop, students will design and build a one-of-a-kind table starting with a discussion on the characteristics of wood as an organic building material, then jump into design and create full-scale drawings. Each student’s project will be uniquely their own. The workshop covers all the machines used for the dimensioning and shaping of rough lumber into finely crafted furniture, from fine ornate forms to organic carved shapes. Students will discover the structural aspects of joinery with a focus on using floating mortise-and-tenons. Students will finish off their pieces with surface embellishments including painting, carving, texturing, burning and sand blasting. Students can come and get comfortable with tools and equipment to be able to work safely on their own, or as a skilled maker that wants to try something completely new.
