Brad Reed Nelson Boris Bally CONCEPT Develop a visual language by
exploring organic shapes and form translated
through carved abstract vessels and bowls. In
this workshop, students discuss the boundaries
of form and function and the role these play in
everyday lives and cultures. Participants design
and carve a series of sculptural pieces that play
with, disregard or enhance the functionality of
their intended use while learning the necessary
steps to take rough lumber and shape it into
refined objects from original ideas. CONCEPT Immerse yourself in the history of CONCEPT MEDIA & TECHNIQUES Wood selection, MEDIA & TECHNIQUES Students bring
images of iconic furniture produced during
the Bauhaus movement. Classmates respond
to them by building an original piece of
furniture through inspiration. Working with kiln-
dried lumber, traditional and unconventional
methods of joinery, shaping and fabrication
are discussed. MEDIA & TECHNIQUES ACTIVITIES Daily demonstrations emphasize ACTIVITIES

Vessels: form & function
drawing techniques and proper power tool use
are reviewed. As students become well-versed
in carving, techniques for sanding and finishing
are demonstrated. Through slide lectures
featuring objects and natural forms, students
gain inspiration for multiple pieces.
ACTIVITIES
Each workshop is a combination
of presentations, group discussions and
demonstrations on tools and techniques.
Plenty of independent work time for projects is
provided with guided help from the instructor
on concepts, designs and execution.

100 years of the Bauhaus movement. The basic
philosophy of the Bauhaus was “form follows
function.” Students reimagine the material
world by discussing the distinction between
fine and applied arts then reunite creativity and
manufacturing for good design in everyday
lives. The goal is to reinvent furniture pieces
originally inspired from the Bauhaus movement
and apply those ideas to create an original table
or stool.
the safe use of machinery and hand tools. Plenty
of hands-on activity and one-on-one help from
faculty ensure that all participants create a
personalized piece of furniture.

Explore how to create Furniture
Originating from Recycled Material and
Signage. Students learn basic sheet metal
fabrication techniques as well as cold
connection techniques to create unique
joinery. These techniques are then applied to
recycled aluminum traffic signs. Participants
ideate through sketching and prototypes and
then fabricate a final, full-scale sculptural or
furniture object made from recycled street and
traffic signs.
Students use
cardboard and/or Bristol board to develop
prototypes. Final forms are made from recycled
aluminum traffic signs, copper wire, rivets,
self-clinching fasteners and screws. To achieve
finished work, students saw, hand file and
hand finish as well as cold connect using rivets,
hardware, wire and tabs.
The workshop explores the
challenges of working with recycled aluminum
material. The daily routine is made up of
demonstrations, followed by group discussions
and mini-assignments. Discussion during and
after the processes helps to round out studio
time. Participants are encouraged to finish
one object.
