This course extends fundamental knowledge of introductory woodworking skills introducing a range of methods to produce curved elements that can be accurately duplicated, and looks to the capabilities of the method and material to inform/inspire the design. A range of methods for creating curves from solid sections and from laminating and veneering are surveyed, as well as techniques for joinery in curved work. Students will work both during and outside of class to design and fabricate samples and/or components that are repeatable as multiples by use of moulds, forms, or templates. The course is taught by a combination of readings, lectures, discussions, demonstrations, and supervised practice that exposes students to a combination of technology, theory, history, and design and making processes. Occupational health and safety instruction is an integral part of this course.
