MAKE & TAKE END TABLE USING STEREOTOMY Dec. 6-11, 2027
OVERVIEW
Stereotomy is an ancient method of developing complex three-dimensional forms using a handmade geometric drawing instead of numeric calculation. Used by master stonecutters and timber framers dating back to medieval times, stereotomy is a powerful approach for understanding and laying out intersecting roof systems, compound angles, and other challenging structural geometry.
In this class, students will explore the language of stereotomy by building a small end table to take home at the end of the class. Each student will create their own full-scale stereotomy drawing and then use it to lay out the parts for the table. Students will leave with a practical understanding of stereotomy fundamentals, a unique piece of handmade furniture, and an elaborate full scale drawing of the table to take home.
Materials are included in the registration fee.
