Open Studio for Women, Femmes & Thems

Service Description

These sessions are recommended for people who have turned on the lathe at least once before. Come to studio with an idea or just to play on the lathe, and stay for as little or as long as you want! This is a safe environment for people historically not welcome or comfortable in the woodworking community. You can bring your own wood, or browse my shop full of wood in various sizes and varieties for a discount. I also have tools to cut wood down to the specific size you need. My shop includes many kits you can purchase, such as pen, peppermill, and bottle stopper kits. My hope for these new sessions is to motivate and inspire each other to turn on the lathe and try out new ideas, while enjoying each others' company in a relaxing environment. You're welcome to bring food or drinks to snack on in the studio. All tools and safety equipment are provided. Please wear close-toed shoes. A bandana is recommended. It's also recommended to wear a t-shirt with a neckline that goes all the way up to your neck, as wood chips will be flying. Class is for ages 8 and up. If the participant is under 16, a guardian is required to stay in the classroom. Pay what you can. Suggested fee is $25/hr. I take payment through Venmo, Paypal, Cashapp, Zelle, cash, or check.
