Details

** Important: You must register and pay for the event on the Nova Labs event site at https://novalabs.wildapricot.org/event-4185282 Space is limited. **

Did you know that the woodshop is home to a chopstick maker? Learn about that other cool chopstick facts in this fun hands-on class. You will select from a variety of woods and see how to turn boards into mighty little utensils by using the table saw, bandsaw, and a specialized hand plane. Traveling has been tough, but in this class you’ll enjoy a brief cultural getaway in the land of wood.

Bonus! Don’t let your cultural journey end. For those adventurous enough to travel to foreign lands, follow up your woodshop experience with a tour of Crafters Cove and extend your vacation by learning how to sew a beautiful sleeve to keep your chopsticks in. Check out the companion class. https://portal.nova-labs.org/event-4202489
