- Description
- RIT’s MFA in furniture design is structured to support your individual interests and aesthetic development. While engaging in the design and construction of a range of furniture objects, you will be challenged to advance your aesthetic, conceptual, and design sensibilities while simultaneously strengthening your furniture building techniques and construction strategies. You will be exposed to a broad range of contemporary practices and creative approaches to design and art-making in support of experimentation and critical reflection. The first year of the program exposes you to a broad range of critical issues related to the conception and production of art, and serves to inspire and provoke your critical reflection, as well as facilitates the development of your preliminary thesis topic. You will spend ample time creating work, while you strengthen your woodworking techniques, design fundamentals, and your sense of personal creative expression. In the second year, you will continue to refine your work aesthetic as you propose and fully engage in a thesis project. You will work with RIT's gallery coordinators and curators to install and exhibit a final body of work.
