Summer Camp | Teens Woodworking & Design Camp | 13+yrs$400.00 Teens explore furniture building! Monday through Friday July 7 – 11 from 1pm – 4pm Ages 13+years welcome! Steffanie Dotson and Don Ostertag welcome teens for a week of chair design, building, and design exploration! Why are most chairs the same size? We’ll talk about how chairs can be made for every BODY and how comfort and designs affect our bodies. We’ll be sketching designs with pencil to paper and then we’ll move into model making and prototypes of chairs. Along the way, we’ll talk about the basics of how a chair is built, the various forces, and how failures can happen when not built properly. We’ll do mock-ups with plywood to refine our designs. Depending on how many design iterations each chairmaker goes through, by the end of the week, they’ll have some fun designs, models, lots of knowledge, and hopefully built chairs to show for it. Machine and tool safety is a big part of this camp. It is intended for teens with a keen interest in woodworking, design, or making>chairs. Cell phones will be put away during this camp. Teens must be at least 13 years old to participate, since we’ll be using big machines in addition to hand tools. Sorry, no adults allowed. This camp is for teens, ages 13+ years.
