This is not the same old woodworking design course. Students will begin by identifying a personal passion, whether it is boating, beer, booty, Buddha, or something entirely different, and use that inspiration to develop original forms and project ideas. Each concept will be explored through a variety of model-making approaches, including linear, planar, additive, and subtractive techniques. Working with different materials, students will learn to see design in new ways, step outside their comfort zones, and expand their aesthetic and functional boundaries. This intensive class will explore the complete design process through creative thinking, inspiration, sketching, model building, experimentation, and refinement. Daily lectures, demonstrations, and quick creative exercises will focus on each student’s interests and individual design direction. The class will also examine observation, personal expression, proportion, line, and form, with plenty of one-on-one guidance throughout the week. Scott brings an extraordinary range of alternative design skills to the table, or the chair, box, or bed. His enthusiastic, high-energy teaching style will encourage students to take creative risks, challenge familiar ideas, and “cross the line” into exciting new territory. Students should arrive ready to push their limits and set their creativity on fire.
