You and one other woodworker (at most) will work under the guidance of a professional woodworker whose vast experience can help guide you towards the successful completion of your project.
The session will be 1.5 hours if only one person is registered, and three hours if two are registered. You're welcome to work without guidance on projects during general Open Studio hours.
This experience promises to build your woodworking knowledge while increasing confidence and skill using the woodshop.

Class Policies
Ages 14 and up are welcome.
