Crossover Wood Classes
Exploring Through Spoons
Big spoon or little spoon? You don't have to pick in our very first 4-studio crossover class: Exploring Through Spoons!
In this 4-week class, you'll get a lightning fast introduction to our Clay, Wood, Metal, and Print studios. Each week, the students will be in a different studio learning the material through the ancient practice of spoon making (seriously, spoons are, like, 3,000 years old)! Weeks 1-3 will be spent making physical spoons through hand-building in clay, carving out of wood, and forging in metal. The last week will be spent learning linocut to make a one-of-kind print of their spoons, culminating in a display of craftsmanship for the ages.

Woodworking Classes
1-Day Woodworking Classes
Get good with wood without the big commitment of a multi-week class. These 1-day classes are perfect if you’re looking for a woodworking crash course in dimensioning lumber or making a quick cutting board.
These classes DO NOT include open studio time.
4-Week Sampler Classes
Totally new to woodworking? This woodworking sampler is great for first-time students. This class is perfect for beginners looking to familiarize themselves with a wood studio and become comfortable with essential milling and hand tools. Through creating a small project, you'll gain practical experience with these fundamental tools and techniques.
Sampler classes DO NOT include open studio time.
4-Week Level I Woodworking Classes
Table saws are scary - but they don't have to be! This beginner-level class will focus primarily on milling: the fundamental process of measuring, cutting, and preparing wood for a project. Over the course of 4 weeks, you'll learn how to safely use several of our milling machines (table saw, chop saw, jointer, planer) to cut and shape wood, as well as some of the basics of joinery (joining pieces of wood together), and shaping and finishing with hand tools. We'll walk you through the whole process of creating a simple but beautiful functional piece that you'll want to brag to all your friends about.
These classes include open studio time.
4-Week Level I Carving & Turning Classes
Woodworking isn’t all buzzsaws and wood glue. Wood carving and turning is all about cutting away to create beautiful, sculptural forms. If you’ve been dabbling in clay, you’ll feel right at home in these classes.
Our Wood Carving classes explore the artistry of sculpting out of wood. Using a combination of hand tools and smaller hand-held power tools, you can learn to shape wood into whatever image speaks to you.
Wood Turning can be used as a finishing technique to create perfectly cylindrical legs for a bench, or to hollow out a piece of wood to create bowls, vases, serving platters - you name it!
These classes include open studio time.
8-Week Level I Classes
Do you pine to grain better woodworking skills? You wood not beleaf how easy it can be! This all-level class will go more in depth on the fundamentals of woodworking: milling, joining, shaping, and finishing. Over the course of 8 weeks, you'll learn how to safely use several of our milling machines (table saw, jointer, planer, and more) to cut and shape wood, as well as joinery (joining pieces of wood together), and shaping and finishing with hand tools and the lathe.
These classes include open studio time.
