Katie Hudnall, Hardware Observatory
Sylvie Rosenthal, Journey to an Empty City
July 22 — 26 II
Adventures in Woodworking: tactics for
creative strategies III
Katie Hudnall & Sylvie Rosenthal IV
CONCEPT
Let go of the preciousness in your working process. Students allow experimentation
to run its course, then use those experiences to hash out problematic details of a particular project.
Students are supported as they boldly go where they have not gone before, technically and
conceptually. Students are encouraged to bring a problem, technique or part of a current work and
explore its greater potential. This workshop is cumulative learning at its best.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES
Students employ strategies with jigs and fixtures and work on
sculptural assembly and deconstructed joinery. A wide range of processes and techniques are
explored, including additive and subtractive joinery, kinetics, clamping and gluing non-traditional
parts, jigs and fixtures, carving, surface embellishments, hardware alteration and consideration.
ACTIVITIES
Short brainstorming exercises are followed by quick demonstrations. Students receive
plenty of independent work time as well as one-on-one time with faculty to explore conceptual
technical problems.
FACULTY
Katie Hudnall teaches Furniture Design and Woodworking at the Herron School of Art and Design in
Indianapolis, IN, where she spends the rest of her time making tools for problems real and imagined.

CONCEPT
Tables and seating forms will
be explored for uses indoor and out. From
sculptural to contemporary, from frivolous to
functional, from light to leviathan, students
discuss all aspects for furniture design.
Innovative joinery techniques for working with
laminated parts, vacuum-formed, steam-bent
or shaped forms are considered. Structural and
comfort requirements are discussed for each
project. Storage space or secret compartments
could even be included in the work.
MEDIA
& TECHNIQUES Students
explore the variety of woodworking techniques
including strip laminating, steam bending,
vacuum forming and hot pipe bending.
Methods and different materials for basic
upholstery techniques will be encouraged.
ACTIVITIES
An illustrated lecture on the
creative process is presented. Students prepare
sketches and drawings, models and mock-
ups to aid in the creation of designs. There
are demonstrations on wood forming, joinery
techniques, working with curves and finishing
techniques.
FACULTY
Michael Fortune graduated from
the furniture design program at Sheridan
College. He received the prestigious Bronfman
Award in 1993, was inducted into the Royal
Canadian Academy of the Arts in 2000 and
received the 2007 Furniture Society Award of
Distinction. His work is included in many private
