Exploratory Wood Bending

Tuition $1,110
Code W1008-24
This course investigates various wood-bending techniques to explore form and volume. Students experiment with curved lines and organic forms by steaming, laminating, soaking, and weaving. Students are encouraged to push the limits of the material and explore the infinite potential of expression. This week of exploration emphasizes experimentation and play with linear elements, resulting in forms ranging from maquettes to prototypes for future sculpture and design projects.
