Who is this class for:
This course is open to women-identifying and non-binary folx as well as trans men of any skill level without a prerequisite.

Description: 
A great way to refine your woodworking skills is through box making.  Little boxes don’t require a lot of material volume, so you can experiment with more expensive wood varieties.  You can build beautiful boxes that are accessible to all skill levels, choosing more advanced joinery techniques as your skills improve.  In this introductory class, we focus on the relatively straightforward, yet elegant, miter joint, using a variety of wood species and finishing techniques to create a pair of beautiful keepsake boxes.

HOW TO CHOOSE A PAYMENT >

  • I consider myself middle income/wealth. Paying this price may be a sacrifice, but I can find the resources to do so. This is the full cost of running a course including paying our teachers a fair wage, covering insurance, maintaining tools and facilities, managing administration, and supporting our family.

  • I consider myself low-income/low-wealth. I cannot access this course without financial help.

  • I consider myself low-middle income/wealth. Paying full price for this course presents somewhat of a financial hardship.

  • I consider myself upper-middle income/wealth. I would like to make a donation on top of the full price of the course in order to help subsidize access for those who cannot pay the full tuition.

  • I have the resources to make a substantial donation to ensure that these classes remain accessible to people of all income/wealth levels.
