Each skill is applied to step-by-step projects such as wall hooks, leaf finials, and simple tools, so you leave with pieces you've proudly made. Whether you're new to the craft or refining basics, this class offers a supportive space for all learners curious about this timeless craft. Class size is limited to 6 for personalized instruction. Wear natural-fiber clothing (like cotton), closed-toe shoes, and safety glasses if you have them. A materials fee of $35 is PAYABLE TO THE INSTRUCTOR at the first class.
