Greenwood Small Crafts

Saturday 7/11, 1-5pm

Fresh wood invites direct hands.

Greenwood Small Crafts introduces students to working wood straight from the log. Using simple hand tools, students will split, shape, and finish small objects (bowls, spoons, boxes) that celebrate immediacy and material understanding.

This class emphasizes rhythm, grain awareness, and efficient handwork.

You’ll learn to:

Understand green wood properties

Split and orient stock

Use carving and shaping tools safely

Read grain in three dimensions

Finish small functional objects

Who it’s for: All skill levels. Especially suited to those interested in handwork and traditional craft.
