Meet the Course Director
In the 1970s, a man named Edward Schoen discovered woodworking in an unlikely way. While attending Bucks County Community College, he was required to take a fine arts class. Because none of the other courses interested him, he settled for Woodworking 1. He quickly fell in love with the craft and decided to pursue it as his career.
Soon afterwards, he moved to California to work in various cabinet shops and to enroll in the Fine Woodworking program at the College of the Redwoods. After graduating, he returned to Pennsylvania and took jobs in a few other cabinet shops. Eventually, he was hired by a renowned Bucks County furniture maker to run his shop and manage 30 woodworkers.
Nowadays, Mr. Schoen is self-employed. He owns a business called Signature Gallery LLC with his wife, Sherrie. He spends his time designing unique pieces for clients and bringing them to life.
Throughout the years, Mr. Schoen has been featured in magazines like American Woodworker and Audio Video Interiors as well as several local newspapers. In addition, his work has been displayed at furniture and craft shows around the country. Now, he’s ready to share his expertise and teach you everything he knows about woodworking.
