ARTS 079 - Problems: With the Grain Workshop

HC ARHU

2 credits
This course seeks to provide students with an intensive workshop module in which to develop facility with specific woodworking skills. The course immerses participants in sequential processes of articulating ideas through drawing, structural problem solving, and the construction of models. Hand-cut joint exercises will be assigned throughout the workshop, with joinery learned applied in the construction of the models. Two structures will be explored: a bench, and a table. Each project will be presented in the context of function, style, and material culture.
