This class is for anyone who liked to color outside the lines as a child, or secretly wanted to. Mastering curves opens an entirely new world of possibilities in furniture design. After all, the sweetest distance between two points is a fair curve. Working with curves can be intimidating. Without a clear understanding of what makes a curve flow, it is easy to end up with a design that looks awkward or cartoonish. Through a series of practical exercises, students will break curved lines down and discover what is happening beneath the surface. Participants will begin to see curves on a deeper level, allowing them to better understand and interpret the shapes found in furniture, nature, and even vintage sports cars. No formal art training is required to draw fair curves and flowing lines. Students will learn timeless techniques based on old-school artisan geometry, giving them the confidence to create curves that flow and vibrate with life. The workshop will conclude with a small project that allows students to put their new design skills into practice.
