Join us for an afternoon of fun and holiday art-making with your family!

In this Family Holiday-themed class, children and adults will work together to hand-build holiday decorations and gifts. Pieces can be decorated with textures, designs, and painted with underglaze.

We will then fire and glaze all pieces and let you know when they are ready for pickup, about 3 weeks later. This is a fun way to give handmade gifts or have beautiful decorations for your home that last a lifetime!

This class introduces students to the essential skill of dimensioning rough sawn lumber in a 2 on 1 small class format, providing ample opportunity for personalized instruction, open discussion, and direct interaction with your instructor.  You will learn how to safely process rough-sawn lumber into flat, straight, and square pieces, which is a fundamental skill and the basis for most woodworking projects. Class will cover using a jointer, planer, and the table saw, along with proper wood selection and safety. You will leave with two 3 feet of perfectly dimensioned hardwoods to use in your next project.This class is ideal for beginner woodworkers who want to elevate their skills from using pre-milled, finished lumber to a more foundational and customized approach.

This class has no prerequisites and is open to beginners and seasoned woodworkers alike, but our Wood Studio has some safety basics before anyone is allowed to join in the fun (failure to meet these requirements will result in not being granted access to the equipment): 

•  Please come dressed in close-toed shoes, a shirt that can be tucked in and either short sleeves, or sleeves that can be rolled up past your elbows. 
• No loose or dangling jewelry.
• If you have long hair, please have it securely tied back from your face.
• We will provide safety goggles and/or full face shields, ear protection, and face masks to cover nose and mouth, but if you have your own PPE you would prefer to use, please do!

Ages: 16+ 

All supplies and materials will be provided. 

Will be available to register on Monday, September 22 at 8:00am.
