About This Workshop
Over a six-day period, students will build a Greene & Greene style sofa table. While it’s called a “sofa” table, this piece serves equally well in an entryway or simply against any wall. The phrase “It’s all in the details” – especially applies to Greene and Greene furniture. The details are not simply a “cut and paste” matter. They morph according to context and to some degree intuition (which is learned over time). This project will take a deep dive into several of the more classic Green & Green details. Several jigs and fixtures will be used throughout the week. Drawings and construction notes will be provided for all the jigs used. At the end of the class, students should have a finished (or nearly so) piece of furniture. This is a large piece and will be constructed in sub-assemblies. For ease of shipping, students may forgo the final assembly so the piece will ship in a flat box. This will be an enjoyable week to build a piece of furniture in a relaxed atmosphere and talk about Greene & Greene, woodworking, and design.
