Course Overview

For centuries, tired feet (and seats!) have appreciated the comfort and beauty of a hand-crafted stool; in this service learning course, you can lend a hand to your fellow North House students by building six stools for the North House teaching kitchen. Using a variety of hand tools, students will sculpt a seat and assemble the legs. Simple joinery methods will be used for the final assembly. This course will expose students to a wide variety of tools, methods and techniques used in traditional furniture building. If you’re curious about furniture building, this is a perfect opportunity to advance your skills. Your effort will benefit North House and you'll leave with the knowledge to tackle similar projects on your own.
