Beginner Crochet Class

We had a lot of interest in our first class, so we're bringing it back!

In this class, This beginner-friendly class introduces the fundamentals of crochet through a simple, guided project. Participants will learn core techniques and complete a small bookmark using basic stitches. The class is designed to be approachable, hands-on, and confidence-building. All materials are provided.

Milling 101

While much of woodworking revolves around angles and corners, often you'll need to get some rougher lumber into a square and even piece that you can then make your project out of.

In this class, you will learn how to safely and effectively operate a planer and jointer, preparing a rough piece of wood to square and straight.

This is an intermediate level class. Materials will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own rough pieces.

Table Saw Techniques 101

The table saw is the heart of a woodshop, used for everything from trimming 2x4s to finish joinery. This is proving to be our most popular class, so snag your spot now before they fill up!

In this class, you will learn how to safely and accurately perform basic table saw operations. We'll cover the parts and controls of the saw, rip cutting, and crosscutting. This is a beginner-level class: no prior experience necessary. All materials are provided.
