- please see our class descriptions page for more specific information about any of these classes -
Classification levels 1 through 3 are about the expected level of exertion -
(These levels are not about skill or experience -
our classes in general are accessible to people of all skill levels.)
Because we are teaching traditional wood working and all of our classes 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 our most physical class.
- Lunch is included and all necessary tools and materials are provided for all classes.
- All classes taught by Kenneth Kortemeier unless otherwise indicated.
- Class size is limited to 4 students plus our intern.
- Classes start at 9am and run until 5pm.
