This hands-on workshop will guide you step-by-step to build your very first Kumiko square! You’ll learn how to build and expand the pattern, as well as how to safely set up and use some of the most common woodworking hand tools. We’ll start with rough strips and thickness them before cutting the joints for the grid. Then we’ll hand cut all the infill pieces that make up the flower pattern and fit everything together in a frame for you to take home.
- No prior woodworking experience necessary.
- Materials and supplies will be provided for you, including a selection of hardwoods for the frame.
- During this event, Clear Creek Makerspace will be open for event participants. Please ring the front doorbell, or come around to the back and knock on the windowed doors.

This 3 to 4-hour course will cover topics such as:
- Hand tool set up and care
- Using table saw jigs for joinery
- Hand cutting and fitting joinery on intricate pieces
- Sanding and finishing for a polished look
The majority of this project is completed using hand tools only. Please wear clothes that are comfortable to move in and that adhere to all woodshop rules. The later stages of the process can be quite repetitive, I find this is a good time for headphones if you like to listen to music while you work.
You will walk away with a display-ready kumiko panel that you built to show off in your home or office!
