Fine Woodworking: Appreciation of Design and Construction.

Instructor: Abraham Tesser
 

This workshop is intended for those interested in collecting or building, or in just learning more about the creation of fine furniture.  There will be an introduction to some outstanding studio furniture artists and their work and we will follow the construction of a few pieces to see how wood can be coaxed to do the unexpected. There will be a discussion of design issues and we will consider wood as a design material, focusing on grain, figure, and variety. After considering suggestions for generating design ideas, participants are invited to the instructor’s workshop to see a short demonstration of the hand and power tools typically found in a woodworker’s studio. 

 

Sat., Feb. 7, 9am – 1:30pm, 1 session/4.5hrs., $75, #68175
