Introduction to Woodworking: Create a Spice Rack or Shelf
Adult Multi-Week | Available
Make a shelf to display your collection of precious spices (or something similar depending on your design). Introduction to both manual and computer drafting, basic joinery and assembly knowledge, decorative chiseling/wood carving, and staining practices.
- There is no supply list for this class, as the teacher spends time going over joinery/design before having people source materials. Class develops around individual designs. Safety glasses and close-toed shoes are required to work in the woodshop. Rings and bracelets of any sort should be removed; loose and dangling clothing should be tucked in or removed all together. Long hair must be tied into a bun and/or secured by clips. Students can expect to pay 75-150, depending on what type of wood you choose.
Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.

This instructor speaks Spanish, but class is held in English.
