Basic Skill Building Classes

These classes represent the biggest variety of hands-on classes that the Guild offers.  They vary in topic and complexity, but the unifying theme will be skill development, hands-on and project based learning.  

We strive to offer many different styles of classes to appeal to different learners: small group, independent study, work party, etc.

Skill building classes – These classes focus on the development of certain woodworking skills; for example, sharpening your hand tools or learning how to cut joinery using machines.

Project based classes - Once you have a basic set of skills with hand tools and machines, you are going to want to explore different interests. You will find that you might like one type of woodworking and not another. Many woodworkers are exploring new areas of interest all the time. So, in that sense, we are all beginners! 

Whether you are deepening a particular skill or trying a new woodworking technique, these are the classes for those with some basic experience.
