This course focuses on wood construction and the safe and appropriate use of hand and power tools. Through a series of construction exercises and projects, student will be taught skills that focus on the uses of hardwood, plywood and sheet materials. In the second semester, students will also be taught basic casting techniques including one and multiple part mold-making for use with clay, resin, rubber and plaster, as well as slip casting. In all cases, traditions, east and west will be discussed and all students will be expected to make at least four class presentations on the history of construction techniques over the course of the year.
