Community Projects
Community Projects are designed to provide a win-win situation for members and the public. These teams meet weekly for a 4-hour work session and are made up of all skill levels from beginners to advanced. All members are welcome and can come when they are able. Projects are lead by an experienced leader who assigns tasks to individuals or small teams based on skill levels. These teams are an excellent opportunities for members to learn their craft and socialize with other members. |
Toy TeamA year-round activity that meets weekly and builds custom wooden toys for needy kids. These are distributed not only at Christmas time but throughout the year. Project BuildThis team meets weekly and builds products that are sold at shows or events to generate money for the Guild. Sometime the project is for a special need and donated to the cause. | This team evaluates and selects larger projects requested by local charities, non-profits, or city and state groups. Often these projects can run for many months. Past projects include library shelves, school benches, chests of drawers for a homeless shelter, the display cabinets at the entrance of the Multnomah Arts Center, etc. A great way to learn traditional joinery. Youth OutreachOne of the core missions of the Guild is to attract and train the woodworkers of the future. This requires frequent and close contact with young people. This is a new effort for the Guild and we are interested in hearing proposals from our members. |
