Adrian Ferrazzutti & Owain Harris
July 27 – August 14
In this three-week, self-directed open studio, bring a design you want to accomplish and have two extraordinary woodworkers and instructors guide you through. You will have preliminary consultation with the instructors about the type and scale of project you’re interested in tackling in the months leading up to class, and you have wide latitude in what you may choose to work on. It could be casework, curved works, veneered work, chairs, or whatever else you want to accomplish in the time allotted. There will be lectures and group discussions, but the time will primarily be devoted to one-on-one instruction and assistance as you benefit from Adrian and Owain’s extensive experience and multiple decades in the making and teaching fields.
