This class is for the individual, couples, or parent/grandparent and child making together. We’ve structured this class to limit exposure to any dangerous tools, and focus on learning about wood, gluing, sanding, and applying a final finish. We use maple, walnut, and cherry wood to build this beautiful basket. You’ll pick out your own wood that’s previously prepared for you, choose where to put it, glue it up over two days/nights and the third day/night apply a final finish and take it home. It could also be great for team building for a company group. -
