For the fourth year in a row, the Vermont Woodworking School recognizes the importance of belonging to an organization that supports the field and community in which they have chosen to study.
VWS’s second-semester students expand their furniture-making knowledge through a series of small projects, focusing on veneer work, laminated bends, and other types of joinery. In a synonymous digital skills course, students are introduced to 3D modeling in Fusion 360 to assist with designing complex pieces of furniture. Their final project for the semester is a wall-hung cabinet with a door and a drawer; for some, this is an exercise in design specificity — creating a piece for a specific location or use. For others, they set aside functionality to create a more decorative piece. We are thrilled to feature and highlight these 2nd-semester students this week.
