Description

So, you've taken the Super Shop's
Orientation, now
what? Looking to fill the vacuum with some
tangible building skills? This 6-week technical
workshop class might be for you! We will be using
Enzo Mari's wooden furniture design classic
textbook: 'Autoprogettazione?' as our survival
guide. This class will be centered around
carpentry basics, utilizing Mari's furniture
schematics to build simple, strong, and functional
forms. The takeaway will be newfound confidence in
the Super Shop's Wood Shop, a piece of furniture
for your studio, and foundational fabrication
skills using up-cycled lumber. Expect to purchase
Mari's textbook, to work hard, to possibly get
some wood splinters, and to turn scrap lumber into
gold.
