ARTS 625: Woodworking and Furniture Design Workshop - Spring Semester 2025
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Title: Design, Build, Respond
Building furniture is an activity that involves invention, experimentation, and construction; activities that need to be practiced, multiple times, to get them right. In this course, students will have the opportunity to use woodworking joinery and construction methods to create both wall-hung and tabletop pieces. These projects will give students a chance to explore 3-dimensional work within the shallow space of the wall as well as in the round and sitting or standing on a tabletop surface. Project designs will build on each other, giving students the chance to test out ideas through various shapes, techniques, and functional offerings.
This course will include 2 field trips to visit furniture makers and sculptors in NH along with reading assignments and class discussions about communicating information through wood, woodworking techniques, and furniture design.
