Philip C. Lowe As a young man Phil Lowe took a shine to woodworking, and through the years his interest evolved into a passion. In 1972 he entered the furniture making program at North Bennett School in Boston, subsequently becoming an instructor at the school and eventually rising to department head.  In 1986 Phil left North Bennett to devote his energies to the full-time operation of his furniture making business. The business is still in operation today, serving primarily as an educational tool for his recently founded furniture-making school, the Furniture Institute of Massachusetts. Phil still appears as a visiting instructor, seminar speaker and demonstrator at various schools in the United States and Canada. < Back
