Taking a Chance on an Overseas School: Scott Grove Teaches Veneering at Chippendale School

Scott Grove, an award-winning New York artist, sculptor and woodworker, delivered an inspiring, week long veneering course to last year’s students at the Chippendale International School of Furniture near Edinburgh. This was his first ever course at a UK furniture making school and he’s coming back to teach this year’s students. This is the blog about his visit to the furniture school.

As it turned out, neither did they. It was a mutual gamble taken by both parties that yielded a great experience and exchange of knowledge.  And the scotch and ale was pretty good too.

The Chippendale School offers a complete and diverse curriculum and brings in various experts to teach specialized skill sets. Travelling to the United Kingdom to introduce my pioneered veneering techniques was certainly an honor, but I wondered, would they be open to such innovative and unconventional practices?  Would I even be able to understand what they were saying through their Scottish brogue?
