Overview

BUILD AND WEAVE A STOOL! Students (ages 12-15) will assemble a stool provided by the instructor and weave in the colorful Shaker tape technique in this workshop. All levels welcome; moderate hand and upper-body strength is needed. You will be standing a lot for this project! This class runs on 3 non-consecutive days - Saturday, January 18th, 25th, and February 1st, 2025.

This class is underwritten by the Fleur Bresler Scholarship Endowment, allowing us to deduct $100 from the cost of attendance for all youth participants.

While it is Arrowmont's policy to background check all instructors that teach our wonderful kid workshops, we want to ensure that all children are safe from the moment they arrive to the moment they leave. We have an extra safety step for our children’s programming and ask that all parents/guardians enrolling a child list create the registration form using their contact information as the primary contact. In addition, the form allows you to list another adult that has clearance to drop-off and pick-up your child. In the event, the adult completing the form is not available, the adult under drop-off/pick-up will be required to sign your child in and out before and after class time.

For youth, ages 16-18, who may be driving themselves to campus, please fill out the form as requested above. List the youth driving themselves as the drop-off/pick-up alt. No kids under 16 will be allowed to check themselves out, likewise if the kid does not have a license yet, they must get checked in and out by an adult.

Course Fee : $30.00

With a dedicated building to all things wood, the John Jordan Wood Building, it should come as no surprise that our wood workshops have developed a bit of a reputation for being the best of the best. A dedicated woodturning studio, machine room, and woodworking studio offer a wide range of equipment and options for students and instructors alike. From woodturning to furniture making, greenwood appliques to carving, the sky is the limit for what our wood workshops can do.
