Earlier this semester, Assistant Professor Michelle Hauk and Professor Bruce Lindsey led a Fox Friday workshop for students focused on Japanese joinery.
The workshop explored methods of crafting Japanese-style wooden joints using modernist architect Seike Kiyoshi’s The Art of Japanese Joinery (first published in 1970) as a guide. Students created models of joints documented by Seike to gain hands-on experience with the art of Japanese joinery and a greater appreciation of wood as a raw material.
