This course builds upon fundamental knowledge of solid timber design and understanding of simple volumes to create more complex pieces to gather and present a collection of objects or ideas. Topics covered include concepts and historical examples of collecting and collections, objects presenting narrative and other intangible concepts, idea generation, approaches to making including working with compound mitre joints, sheet goods, and veneers, and further development of a range of techniques. Students will work both during and outside of class to envision and create several works of their own design. 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. Workplace health and safety instruction is an integral part of this course.
