Period Furniture Carving with Boris Khechoyan (8/5/13 – 8/9/13)
This class is designed to familiarize the student with the tools and techniques of woodworking. The student will learn the basic techniques of perspective, proportions, and symmetry. Every project begins with an understanding of how to visualize the finished work and thinking in 3 dimensions. This class offers a creative mixture of lecture, demonstrations, and hands-on experience. It is designed to expose the student to the various types and purposes of wood and the tools designed for each. We encourage students to bring their own project to class, or work on one of the projects provided.
