Would you like to make your own solid wood coffee table and add a touch of color? Would you like to impress your friends by showing them what you can do?
In this 2-session course, you’ll discover two different skills, through the creation of a single object: a bi-material coffee table, in wood and mosaic. Most of the materials used come from the circular economy.
Session 1 (4 hr) will provide an opportunity to discover woodworking using various machines such as: press drill ; miter saws; hand drills; and sanders. We’ll also cover measuring, gluing and finishing techniques.
Session 2 (3 hr) immerses us into the world of decorative mosaics, to bring a unique creative touch to our project. After reviewing the steps involved in creating a mosaic, we’ll take the time to think about the design and choose the colors to create a personalized mosaic. We’ll then discover the right tools, how to cut the pieces using pliers, and techniques for installing the tesserae, gluing and finalizing the project.
Object dimensions: approx. 14“ x 14” x 18”.
Skills required: none, this course is open to all!
Price includes all necessary materials, creativity and lots of professional advice.
