For the 2009 event, we lined up some of the best woodworkers, designers and experts in the world to teach dozens of workshops to help you hone your skills and knowledge of a variety of distinctive furniture styles.

Attendees learned essential techniques for building many types of furniture—regardless of their skill level or how long they’ve been interested in woodworking.

The 2009 Furniture Construction and Design program included interactive workshops and Q&A sessions on enduring styles that include Eighteenth Century, Arts & Crafts, Shaker, Contemporary and more.

Plus, attendees also discover how to use Google’s popular (and FREE!) SketchUp drawing program to give their drafting skills a big leap forward in our informative hands-on clinics.

Info will be posted soon about upcoming WIA events, but in the meantime please feel free to explore the 2009 program below and make sure you check out our other 2009 Woodworking in America Conference: Hand Tools & Techniques, taking place October 2-4. Click here for details!
