Furniture School?

I'm not sure if this is the right section to post on. Sorry if so.

Anyhow, I've been finding myself doodling a lot of furniture lately. I'm not sure why, but it's definitely coming naturally. I've got a specific artistic style that I've been able to incorporate in a variety of different mediums, including pottery, ceramic sculpture, metalwork, and woodwork. I'm beginning to put two-and-two together and realize that I should maybe look into further schooling. What I'm wondering is if there are schools like this around. I've done some research into industrial design, but would I be able to just focus on furniture or do they generally make you work on other 'industrial' things too?
I'm thinking that I'd like to find a school that teaches skills rather than brings out creativity. I know how and where to incorporate my art, I'd just like to consider schooling in a studio where I learn all the hows, why's, tricks, and tools of furniture creation. So does this kind of thing exist?
Some things I could see myself making would be lamps, tables, chairs, lights, book shelves, etc.
Thanks for any insite and direction guys
