WOOD – SUMMER SESSION 2
June 2-14, 2024 (11 STUDIO DAYS)
Chelsea Witt
Table or Not, Here We Come

Tables are usually built for the purpose of holding other objects. In this unconventional furniture-making workshop, we will explore what a table can become if we separate it from its functional expectations. We will cover the basics of woodworking, traditional joinery techniques, and foundational machine skills while expanding creative sculptural and conceptual ideas. Students will focus on smaller-scale tables such as pedestal, entryway, or night stand. Come play, learn, and explore how you can use this everyday object to tell a story that goes beyond function. This workshop will be a welcoming environment for beginning to advanced furniture makers. All levels.
