Make: A Japanese Coffee Table (Mon to Fri) 5 days

An intermediate woodworking class focused on constructing a Japanese-inspired coffee table using selected Japanese joinery elements.
About this course
Participants construct a coffee table influenced by George Nakashima’s design approach, working with a combination of familiar forms and Japanese joinery details. The joinery introduces additional technical challenges within the build and provides the central focus of the class.
