WOODWORKING
Learn the safe operation and techniques of woodworking equipment. This is a multi-level class. First-time students looking to learn the art of woodworking will build a project with the instructor along with the rest of the class. This project will assist in teaching the student basic foundations so the student can apply their knowledge and skills into future projects in a safe manner. This is a hands-on, learn-by-doing class! Intermediate and advanced students can design their own projects and work at their own pace while being able to use the instructor as a resource.
