Classification levels are about the level of exertion which we expect will be necessary for participation in a class.
(These levels are not related to one’s skill or experience.)
Because we are teaching traditional wood working and all of our workshops involve the use of hand-powered tools,
there is a level of physical fitness and (hand) strength necessary to complete certain projects.
Level 1 is definitely accessible to people of average strength and endurance.
Level 2 requires a bit more stamina.
Level 3 is a fairly strenuous class, students often spend extra hours working to finish projects and we've seen some sweat too.
