Enrollment is Limited

Enrollment is limited, and classes typically fill up fast. Students should have a general knowledge of the craft type they will be attending. Wood for specific projects can be purchased from local sources, or you may bring your own. The school has a source for pre-milled material for any class; just call the school for information. Each class has a tuition cost and, if necessary, an additional cost for materials and/or supplies. If a class has a required material and/or supply fee, students are not allowed to bring their own materials in lieu of these fees. Students may ship tools or wood to their own attention at the school’s address and shipping home is easy with our in-house UPS service.

Tool Lists and Cut Lists

Tool lists and cut lists, (if your class requires that you bring special materials or supplies) will be emailed to students after the registration process is completed. Students are encouraged to bring their own hand tools. The school does have some extra hand tools that are available for students to use by request. Videotaping of any instructional workshop is strictly prohibited, even for personal use. Remember that many woods are irritants or even toxic. Please bring only domestic woods so that everyone breathes easier.

Please Note that the facility will not be open on Sunday afternoons if there is not a scheduled workshop. Students attending full-week workshops should plan on arriving the first day of class by 7:45 a.m. For weekend workshops, students should arrive by 8:45 a.m.
