Continuing Education

132 West 21st Street

You deserve better than fast furniture. The EPA estimates that nine million tons of furniture are put into landfills every year. In this course, you will design and build a custom, heirloom furniture piece that you will want to keep for years to come. Sketching and planning furniture projects, basic joinery techniques, use of tools, and how to source sustainable materials and finishes will all be covered. Sessions are held in the Visible Futures Lab, a state-of-the-art rapid prototyping facility and fabrication space. No previous design or fabrication experience is required.
NOTE: The materials fee covers a set amount of modeling and construction materials, including but not limited to chipboard, foam, plywood, screws and sandpaper. Additional materials are available for purchase. This course is held on campus at SVA.
