Copeland Summer Camp Day 2 🌲🪵
Our second day of camp started back at the factory, where we continued our hands-on training. From the rough mill, to assembly, upholstery, and finishing, we got to experience a little bit of everything and gain an even deeper understanding of the craftsmanship that goes into each piece.
From there, we headed over to the Copeland factory outlet, where Tim Copeland gave us a presentation on the characteristics of wood. One of our biggest takeaways? Wood is alive! (in a sense) It’s constantly responding to changes in humidity, temperature, and sunlight which plays such an important role in how furniture is made and cared for.
We then dove into product training, taking a closer look at everything from extension tables and lift desks, to their new media cabinets. After spending the former part of the trip seeing the craftsmanship process, it was very neat to see so many of the finished pieces and truly understand the work that goes into each one!
A huge thank you to the entire Copeland team for hosting us at Summer Camp! We had an amazing time learning, getting hands-on, and getting to know the people behind the furniture!
