The construction of any well-made piece of furniture depends upon an understanding of the the very basics of woodworking. The Techniques class is a condensed verson of the exercises practiced in our nine-month program, and leaves no time to work on an actual project. First-time applicants have priority for this session.

The idea that quality work is the result of the sensitive use of tools and materials is a fundamental premise in all of our classes and is a concept underlying the topics covered in this introductory class.

The course consists of lectures, demonstrations, and at-the-bench guidance in the student’s performance of a variety of exercises.

During the two weeks, students will study and practice a variety of traditional woodworking
joinery techniques, including edge joining, doweling, hand-cut dovetails, mortise-and- tenoning, and frame and panel work. We emphasize a satisfying balance between machine and hand tools.
