RVP~1875 offers three-day classes for those who want to learn the techniques & tools of the trade, as well more about wood & the history of the furniture trade in the setting of a working historical shop.
Students build & take home their choice of one of four pieces such as a bench, bookcase, a wall cupboard, or trunk from the RVP~1875 signature line, which is based on rural utilitarian furniture made in Iowa in the 1870’s. Students learn and use the dovetail and groove joints which make our furniture so strong.
