Craftsmanship & Art Combine form with function to produce beautiful handmade art and woodcraft. Master traditional styles to integrate them with your own unique designs. Use what you create in your home and daily life.
Tool Use & Shop Safety Learn to safely use a wide variety of hand tools in our studio workshop. Develop responsibility and independence by caring for tools and helping to keep our shop organized.
