Groundworks Art Lab

Join us for a creative time in the woodshop where you will craft a beautiful leaf press made from Cherry, Walnut or Maple hardwood and decorate it with personalized pyrography. Right on cue for the vibrant colors of fall leaves, this hands-on class guides you through the process of building and customizing your own leaf press to take home.  Learn the art of wood burning as you add unique designs and touches to your leaf press, creating a one-of-a-kind keepsake. It’s the perfect blend of craftsmanship and creativity, giving you a memorable experience and a lasting piece of art to cherish.

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.
