Build a Wooden Stool - 8am - 12pm
Do you want a simple seat for sitting around the fire? Or maybe a plant stand if you aren’t the sitting type? Come build a wooden stool with mortise and tenon joinery! Students will cut, carve, drill, and assemble a wooden stool out of basswood. Power tools and hand tools will be used. It is helpful to have some hand strength for this project as we will be using some carving tools. No prior woodworking skills needed.
This course is a half day class offered in the morning or afternoon.

Your Instructor
A self-described all-around artist and avid skill collector, I am an extremely curious person and have a lifelong goal to gain knowledge and skills in all things.
Growing up in the woods around the Avon Hills, I loved exploring nature, building forts, creating adventures, and getting dirty. My interest in all things Indiana Jones inspired me to attend college to study archaeology, but ultimately got distracted by the arts and graduated with a dual degree in Art and Archeology from the University of Minnesota.
For the past 20 years I have been running my own small business as a professional woodworker in Saint Paul, building everything from wooden toys to expansive butcher block countertops. Teaching all ages of folks is incredibly fulfilling and I work to encourage, embolden, and promote others to achieve success in their endeavors. “We’ll figure it out” is my favorite motto!
