Art of Cabinetmaking
Course introduction
The training we offer in the art of cabinetmaking gives students the knowledge they need to design and build wooden furniture in different styles. A material such as wood requires trained people who put their technique and artistic sensitivity at the service of art. For this reason, at Dionisio Ortiz Art School we train professionals to combine these two aspects, making furniture and structures using technology that is applicable to restoration and the latest trends.
Syllabus
This course has a total duration of 2,000 hours divided across two years with different modules. The internship stage and the final project are included in this duration.
