Design your own furniture. Learn the workflow used to take a rough idea to final piece by working on your own project.

About This Class

This class will take place in a small interactive classroom setting that encourages participation to work on your own ideas. We will start by learning the anatomy of furniture and how things are made. Then we will review brief history of furniture design and inspiration for our own projects. Next, we review principles of good design and how to sketch even if your not good at drawing. Finally, we will explore all the aspects of completing your project. The course is meant as a introduction for people wanting to design what they make in the wood shop.
