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!
Our series of safe, fun and educational projects will be perfect to help children expand their understanding of hands-on crafts and to develop confidence with basic woodworking tools.

This is the course designed for people with no prior woodworking experience. Through discussion and hands on experience you will learn about the steps necessary to begin with a rough piece of wood and finish with a small table of your own design. The class will meet for six weekly sessions.
