WOOD – SUMMER SESSION 3
JUNE 15-27, 2025 (11 STUDIO DAYS)
Brian Fireman
Get Your Flow On

This workshop will cover the steps from conception to the creation of a piece of sculptural furniture. Using nature as design inspiration, students will learn a workflow that can be repeated for any project. Topics covered will include design considerations with curves, isometric drawing techniques to achieve precise joinery on curved workpieces, glue-up tips for curved work, and techniques for shaping wood with power tools (grinders plus attachments) and hand tools (sureforms, rasps). Bring your own ideas for a small project or Brian will provide some options. All levels.

Studio artist; teaching: Arrowmont (TN), Marc Adams School of Woodworking (IN); exhibitions: American Craft Council shows, Philadelphia Furniture Show, SOFA Chicago, International Contemporary Furniture Fair (NYC); work published widely and represented in showrooms and private collections worldwide.
