Frequently asked questions

For a Safety & Operations class or a Beginner class students do not need to bring their own wood unless otherwise marked. Advanced classes students will need to select their own wood for the class. Instructions will come through email.   

Class sizes vary depending on what you're learning. Expect to share class with a handful of eager woodworkers. If you'd like one on one instruction please check out our classes. 

Classes will range between 2 to 4 hours depending upon what you're learning. Classes can be one day or many weeks depending upon what is being taught. The Safety & Operations class is 2 hours long. 

Our teachers are a collection of industrial designers, skilled craftsman, creative shop teachers, fine art professors and relatable hobbyists.  

Please show up just a few minutes before start time of class. Check in at the front desk and please wait on the benches for class to begin. 

Members are granted sign in rights. Students enter the front door 15 minutes before class begins.
