Explore materials and woodworking techniques to create your own custom light in this three-week intensive workshop. Through three engaging woodworking demonstrations and an introduction to basic electrical work, you'll gain a hands-on crash course in techniques like steaming wood, carving wood, and texturizing wood. You'll then apply these skills to craft a unique light fixture, leaving the course with a newfound understanding of these woodworking methods and your own finished creation.
Bring to first class: Your preferred method of note-taking. All basic materials provided. Students should wear close-toed shoes, clothing they don't mind getting messy, and have a way to tie back long hair.
Prerequisite: None. Students must be 18+ years or older at the start of the class.
Instructor Bio: Artist and designer Katie Gong joined CCA as the Wornick Distinguished Visiting Professor of Wood Arts for the fall 2022 semester. Trained as a woodworker and painter, she has developed a signature steam-bending practice where she twists and forms wood poles into riveting sculptural pieces. She says, "The story I portray in my work is that it is about a frozen moment in time where something that is rigid can become flexible and then again return to rigid. So my sculptures are really about possibility and transformation."
