The Wood­work­ing and Furni­ture Design program at Univer­sity of New Hamp­shire intro­duces students to hand tools, machin­ery, construc­tion, and design. By slowly moving through each of these subjects, students learn how to develop tech­ni­cal skills and imaginative problem-solving.

The wood­work­ing and furni­ture design program is situ­ated within the Depart­ment of Art and Art History and located in the Service Build­ing along with Ceram­ics and Sculpture.

Students can pursue a BFA, BA, or Minor in wood­work­ing, but one of the best aspects of teach­ing at UNH, is that the Intro­duc­tory class is offered to students from across the univer­sity. Some of the most imag­i­na­tive and finely crafted work has come from students major­ing in engi­neer­ing, outdoor educa­tion, history, busi­ness, etc. Small group conver­sa­tions, critiques, and demos set a tone of support, encour­age­ment, and trust. This allows a diverse group of students to find common­al­ity among one another and encour­age each other to make better work.
