The Woodworking program stresses the innovative use of wood as a material for the construction of both functional objects and sculpture. Using a project-based curriculum with conceptual challenges that encourage creative problem solving and critical thinking, the design process is emphasized through sketching, technical drawings, model making and computer rendering. Students develop a high level of proficiency in the various manipulative, construction, and finishing processes of woodworking by employing both hand-tool and machine techniques.
The woodworking and furniture facilities offer state-of-the-art laboratories across two machine rooms and a separate finishing room with several spray systems. The labs are outfitted with an extensive collection of commercial quality power equipment such as sawtops, jointers, planers, band and jigsaws, lathes, drill presses, and more, all connected to a state-of-the-art dust collection systems.
