The Single Ply Project is a design and woodworking apprenticeship that pairs six emerging designers with six mentors to explore the intersection of creativity, craftsmanship, and problem-solving. Each mentor builds their own chair while assisting their student apprentice in theirs. Through sketching, prototyping, material exploration, and fabrication, participants learn how constraints can fuel innovation while developing foundational skills in design process and woodworking. The program culminates in a public exhibition where all twelve chairs are displayed, celebrating the creative process and demonstrating how a simple material can become a vehicle for design, storytelling, and community connection.
