Miller

Jeff Miller turned to woodworking after a career as a classical musician and brings a musician’s sensibility to his furniture designs. He has been making award-winning furniture in his Chicago studio for over 37 years and has participated in numerous juried shows in galleries and museums across the country. Jeff has written four books (and is at work on a fifth): Chairmaking and Design, Beds, Children’s Furniture and The Foundations of Better Woodworking. He has also contributed to Taunton Press’ Furniture for All Around the House and Storage Projects for All Around the House. Chairmaking and Design, and its companion DVD Chairmaking Techniques, won Stanley Tools/National Association of Home and Workshop Writers “Golden Hammer” awards for best how-to book and video in 1997. Jeff also writes frequently for most of the major woodworking magazines and teaches around the country.

A special note about our photos:

We have taken HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of photos over the years of our students, instructors, and staff — during classes, after classes, and at various gatherings. Throughout this brochure and on our website, you will see many photos that were taken prior to the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. Images of people without masks or not practicing social distancing were taken before the pandemic and before the safety practices were implemented. Please rest assured, we follow all of the safety precautions and guidelines mandated by our local and state health officials. Community means everything to us —we aim to provide a safe environment for all who teach and learn at MASW. If you have any questions or concerns regarding our practices, or would like more detailed information about the school’s health and safety guidelines, please do not hesitate to call or email us!
