Course description:

This course is a dedicated space for women and gender-diverse individuals, with the focus of creating a welcoming environment for folks who have felt unwelcome in woodworking spaces. 

This course will introduce students to the Lathe involving safety demonstrations, knowledge about chisels and other tools involved with turning, and how they are able to cut and shape wood. Students will be honing their skills week by week and gain confidence with using the lathe. Over the duration of this 6-week course, students will create a series of projects, such as candle holders, honey dippers, bud vases and more!
