Grades 4th - 8th. Join us in the woodshop as we take a few simple tools and pieces of wood to build a dovetail box. Just as it was done hundreds of years ago, your box will be ready for use without the use of nails, screws, or glue. Let the joy of dovetail joinery spark both creativity and connection. This class is designed for one adult and one child working both together and side by side.
You will learn essential woodworking skills such as measuring, sawing, chiseling, and planing throughout the class. The tools we use are sharp and must be used correctly, empowering your child and fostering confidence in your relationship. You will leave the class with one box per pair. No prior woodworking experience necessary - just a willingness to learn and have fun!
Materials: All woodworking materials and tools will be provided. Dress for a bit of creative mess! Instructor: Laura Meyer. 2 classes.
