Changing wood from straight lines to curved adds a whole new dimension to woodworking; in this five-day hands-on class, you will learn both the practical how-to and the design impact of bending wood.
You will learn a variety of bending techniques, such as steam bending, laminate bending, hot pipe bending, coopering, kerf bending, and vacuum form.
We’ll work on multiple small hands-on exercises to give you practical experience of the processes.  The key learnings you’ll take away with you include:
We will explore how repeated shapes and curved surfaces impact your furniture designs and other areas, such as mixing different species. If time allows, we’ll touch on additional methods, such as coppering, but the goal will be to build a strong base of knowledge that you can leverage for your projects at home.
Be prepared to take your work and skills up a notch.
