In Furniture 3 the technical skills required to make items of furniture are extended. Instruction is through project-based work, with a focus on developing creative and analytical skills. A broader range of intermediate skills, techniques and processes is introduced, including more advanced machine practice and its associated occupational health and safety principles. Various methodologies for conceptualizing and developing design ideas, such as sketching, model-making and prototype fabrication are applied. Studio theory increasingly serves to contextualize the student’s practice within the broader arts context. Occupational health and safety instruction is an integral part of this course.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

1. competently utilize a range of skills relevant to the discipline, in response to Workshop projects
2. explore the potential of material/s used in Workshop projects
3. investigate the inventive application of concepts and processes
4. engage with historical and theoretical contexts relevant to Workshop projects
