The Southwest School of Woodworking is Arizona’s only comprehensive woodworking school. The school was founded in 2013 by a group of professional woodworkers who became concerned about the lack of woodworking education in high schools and technical schools. Our mission is to pass on the craft of woodworking, and we love bringing new woodworkers into the fold.
We modeled the Southwest School of Woodworking on the best contemporary schools around the U.S., as well as taking inspiration from the great European traditions of craft education.
Our goal is to bring the highest level of craft education to our local region, and beyond. The majority of our students come from Arizona and surrounding states of New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and California, but we have also been delighted to welcome visiting students from Texas, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Alaska, Canada, and even New Zealand and Australia!
