Woodworking Apprenticeship
Through our apprenticeships, expert Trackers Mentors guide youth and teens in learning at art studios. Our classes are designed for students from beginner to advanced levels. Thanks to our small class sizes, instructors can provide individual attention to each apprentice. Develop the following skills:
Woodworking & Woodcarving Learn techniques and methods for woodcarving and green woodworking. Shape wood straight from the tree into creative and functional works. Create art and useful objects with your own hands.
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.
