This major is only available to students undertaking the Bachelor of Visual Arts.
The Furniture major provides a range of studio-based classes in woodworking and furniture design, as well as seminar classes addressing concerns of contemporary craft and design practice. Students engage with the broad disciplines of furniture and studio-based craft practice, establishing the groundwork to engage in professional studio practice, or to apply transferable planning, design, and fabrication skills across creative and cultural sectors. The Furniture major trains students to question and explore critical issues through a designer/maker perspective employing traditional, conventional, and digital fabrication methods.
