Special Notes

• There is no supply list for this class, as the teacher spends time going over joinery/design before having people source materials. Class develops around individual designs. Safety glasses and close-toed shoes are required to work in the woodshop. Rings and bracelets of any sort should be removed; loose and dangling clothing should be tucked in or removed all together. Long hair must be tied into a bun and/or secured by clips. Students can expect to pay 75-150, depending on what type of wood you choose.
  
  This class does not meet on 1/20 for Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
