Students in the program gain the skills and knowledge necessary to become a professional woodworker. The B.F.A. wood concentration is a series of seven classes in drawing, design and woodworking, in addition to classes in other craft media and liberal arts studies.
Some assignments are focused on primary furniture forms including chairs, tables and cabinets; others involve major technical areas such as joinery, bending, veneering, turning, shaping and finishing. All projects build on a students design skills and develop a personal style.
The program is enhanced by a full-time, highly qualified resident artist. Visiting artists, workshop lecturers and studio/gallery visits further enrich the program.
