The 2010 Furniture Society Conference, Fusions: Minds And Hands Shaping Our Future

Fusions is all about the fluid relationships between mind and hand, tool and material, maker and client, technique and theory. In focusing on the theme of fusion—the merging of diverse, distinct elements into a unified whole—the conference will bring together makers and designers, collectors, educators and curators to address the role of furniture in today's society as well as the historical context and future of contemporary furniture.

A Great Offering of Woodworking Instructors
