Summer and Fall 2025 Classes
June 10th, 2025
Starting July 19th, we'll be running a weekend version of our Fundamentals I course! We'll be covering the same material that's in our 12 week Fundamentals course, but it will be consolidated into three consecutive weekends.
On August 9th, we'll start our Building Your Workbench class! In this course, you'll build a sturdy workbench out of solid hard maple.
Signups are also open for our Fall Fundamentals I, Fundamentals II, and Basic Veneering classes! All of those courses will be starting at the end of September, 2025.
We still plan to add a few one day courses for later in the summer, as well, so check back!
