A recommended tool list will be provided after registration. All in a real operating workshop setting where skilled craftsmen and apprentices work. The atmosphere is congenial, a warm save fun place with real woodwork going on. The classes are organized in sequence, so Kids will learn and build on their skills. Small classes under close professional supervision.
Parents are very welcome to stay and participate in the classes if they so choose.
In each class Kids produce a project they can use at home, such as a Bowl, a Salad Set, a Stool, or a Box. All materials, tools and work plans are provided. Making a Salad set Kids will make spoon and fork for a salad set out of a solid piece of wood. First they will cut the wood with a handsaw and then carve, shape and clean sand the pieces, ready to be used at home. They will carve the bowl out of a block of wood with a gouge, and then clean rasp, file, and sand the pieces, ready to be used at home.
