This course is designed for the beginner looking to gain a basic introduction to woodworking skills and build their confidence in a professional wood shop environment. In this class each student will work side by side with our expert instructor and make a small step stool in just one day!
Learn the elegant art of working wood by hand. We cover the basics of wood as a material, tool selection, and sharpening. We welcome total beginners, history buffs and “makers.” Hand tools are a wonderful and practical way to work wood in a small space like an apartment.
Our training programs are developed so that our carpenters and millwrights meet any challenge or opportunity encountered by our employers.
The Carpentry (CAR) Program provides theory along with hands-on training for job-entry skills up to craftsman level in a variety of areas. You can earn certificates in carpentry. All classes are open to all skill levels, unless otherwise noted.
Carpentry is a fast-growing field, and northwest Washington has one of the highest concentrations of carpentry jobs nationwide (according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics).
