Taught by master craftsmen in a sharing environment, our woodworking courses encompass a growing number of skill areas. Beginning with Woodworking Basics, you'll learn many tools and techniques and have the opportunity to interact with other students. Or you may wish to enroll in more specific areas such as  carving, turning, guitar building, laser engraving, inlaying, and more. Our unpretentious, can-do climate will inspire you to safely explore your many creative options and engage in even the most challenging skills-training programs before finding your main area of interest. In many cases completing one of these courses will prepare you for working independently in the Lab on your own projects, paying just a nominal hourly fee.
