Join us in this week-long workshop as we
explore the fundamental applications of the Computer
Numerically Controlled (CNC) router. Students learn
the process of drawing and preparing digital models in
Rhino3D and outputting them on a CNC with the use of
computer-aided machining software or CAM. Students
complete short exercises throughout the week as they
learn to adapt the process to their personal studio
practices. Although we use wood as our primary material
in the exercises, this course is open to artists and
craftspeople in all disciplines.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: Students learn Rhino3D
modeling software to design 2-D and 3-D models for
output on the CNC. Each student learns the process of
generating a tool path with CAM software and to run
their tool path on our CNC machine. Other course content
is tailored to address individual project ideas and goals.
ACTIVITIES: Demonstrations and one-on-one assistance
are given in conjunction with morning and afternoon
exercises in using the CNC and a variety of software. We
explore the basics of the software programs, however
each student is required to have a basic understanding of
how to use computers.
FACULTY: Fabiano Sarra is a furniture designer
and maker from Rochester, N.Y. He was a past Studio
Coordinator for Furniture Design and Woodworking
at Anderson Ranch and is currently working toward
his M.F.A. in furniture design at Rochester Institute of
Technology.

Expand the design possibilities of wood by
transforming it into fabric. This unique, multi-faceted
course explores techniques of combining wood with
leather and other textiles in order to create unique
fashion accessories. Students design in three dimensions
through rapid prototyping exercises while learning basic
woodworking and leatherworking skills. After design
experiments and technique practice samples, students
create a final, one-of-a-kind piece.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: We combine hand tools and
machines for both woodworking and leatherworking.
The course begins with prototyping in inexpensive
materials like paper and poster board, and then focuses
on combining veneer and leather through hand cutting,
hand stitching and machine stitching.
ACTIVITIES: Through daily demonstrations and quick
design prototypes we cover woodworking basics like
cutting veneer, making templates using the bandsaw
and sanders, and applying finish. We also review leather/
textile techniques, including cutting patterns, hand
stitching, machine stitching, riveting, edge treatments
and finishing.
FACULTY: Michaela Crie Stone lives in Rockport,
Maine, where she creates objects that blur the lines
between art, craft and design. Working predominantly
in wood, she combines traditional craftsmanship with
an innovative aesthetic. Michaela’s furniture, sculpture
and handbags have been shown nationally, and received
numerous accolades, including grants from the Maine
Arts Commission and the Furniture Society, the Artist
Award from the Society of Arts and Crafts in Boston
and several esteemed artist residencies throughout the
country.

CONCEPT: Master how to bend wood to create dynamic
furniture or pure sculpture, and add depth and develop
new dimensions and possibilities in your furniture
making. We explore basic to advanced techniques to
bend wood, including bent laminations, steam bending,
vacuum forming and coopering. Students are encouraged
to use one or a combination of these techniques to inspire
and create a furniture design such as a coffee table,
stool, a wall mirror or an entirely sculptural concept.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: We work in solid lumber,
plywoods and veneers to create curved components that
can be used to make a project of one’s choice. A balance
of hand and power tools skills are used, including milling
parts, fabricating bending forms, cutting joinery to final
assembly and finish.
ACTIVITIES: The workshop is action-packed with
demonstrations on various bending techniques. Students
are encouraged to bring design ideas for their project.
Design and aesthetics are considered and discussed. The
majority of the class focuses on work time with group and
individual demonstrations.
FACULTY: Adrian Ferrazzutti is a studio furniture
maker working in Guelph, Ontario. He is a 1998 graduate
of the College of the Redwoods where he studied under
James Krenov. Adrian writes for Fine Woodworking
Magazine and produced the DVD Veneered Boxes with a
Twist. Adrian teaches at schools in Canada and the U.S.
