Additional program segments include: beginning furniture making, green ladderback chairs, joinery, boxmaking, care and repair of shop machines, small scale design/build, intermediate furniture techniques and wood finishes. The program runs through April 15, 2011, with classes generally scheduled from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Tuition for the program itself costs $6,500.
