HatchSpace is pleased to launch an 8-week, full-time, 300-hour intensive program in wood furniture and products innovation starting in the fall of 2025. Our woodworking immersion program is rooted in an integrated approach of study from forest to woodshop and offers participants the opportunity to study wood as a material, as well as methods of manipulation that support furniture and product design through sourcing, designing, drawing, cutting, sawing, joining, bending, and glueing.
Delivered in downtown Brattleboro, Vermont, and surrounded by some of the world’s finest hardwood forests, students will gain not only the knowledge of fundamental woodworking practices, but also an awareness of the interconnected field of sustainable forestry. The curriculum includes both traditional and advanced techniques, blending craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology.
Through project-based assignments, field trips and a rotating roster of expert instructors, students will develop essential woodworking and design skills. They will also gain hands-on experience with a variety of tools, from hand planes to CNC machines, and milling equipment to laser cutters.
Students leave with a Certificate of Completion.
