Crafting with Purpose: The Art of Furniture Making
In a world where mass production often overshadows craftsmanship, the art of furniture-making with greenwood offers a refreshing return to the roots of creativity. At Cerdeira’s Green Woodworking Course, participants are invited to reconnect with the materials they use, the process of creation, and the beauty of working with their hands.
The course is not just about building furniture—it’s about understanding the story behind every piece of wood. Freshly cut and full of life, greenwood is the centerpiece of this process. Its natural moisture allows for flexibility and shaping that’s impossible with dried wood, making it the ideal medium for crafting chairs.
This course explores the mechanics of woodworking and the philosophy of creation. Participants learn traditional techniques like splitting, shaping, and steam bending, which allow the wood to reveal its natural forms. The wood guides your hands with every cut and curve, teaching you patience and respect for its unique characteristics.
Working with Greenwood course it’s about rediscovering the joy of creating with purpose, one piece of wood at a time.
