		+
		+	In the woodshop, participants will be instructed in use of the scroll saw to cut an intricately patterned holiday tree. Students will also make a simple wood stand. After sanding and shellacking, the tree will be ready to be adorned with a stained glass ornament.

		+	In the stained glass studio, participants will choose a pattern and learn to cut, foil, and solder glass pieces. They will then assemble the pieces into a colorful holiday ornament to hang on their wooden tree. Please Note: Participants must be able to stand for extended periods while working with tools. Closed-toed shoes must be worn.

+Build an outdoor folding chair in a day! Students will cut and drill parts to create a folding chair, commonly called a Kentucky Stick Chair. The chair, made out of cedar, is ideal for sitting on a porch or at the beach on a summer day. Students will spend the day laying out, cutting, and drilling more than 40 parts to make the complete chair. The finished chairs will be taken home at the end of the day.

 Students will make a small box with drawer(s) out of a single piece of stock to be taken home at the end of the class. Students will be introduced to gluing techniques, several bandsaw techniques, and basic methods of finishing (shellac). Students should expect to do a significant amount of hand sanding as part of the process. Students will gain significant experience with the bandsaws and the bench sander during this class.

 Suggestions for students on attire, foods, parking, etc. is available in the [[media:WS_Student_Prep.pdf|Woodshop Class Preparation Guide]], and reproduced below.
 ====What to Wear:====
-'''''Comfortable shoes and appropriate clothes.''''' Students should expect to spend most of the class standing on their feet, so comfortable and supportive '''closed-toe''' footwear is important. Students should expect that clothing worn in the shop may end up full of shavings, sawdust, splinters, and glue. If the class includes power tool use (most do), students should avoid hanging cords, loose sleeves, or other entanglement hazards in clothing. Coats and purses may be hung on the coat rack in the shop, but are likely to get dusty during long classes. Please plan accordingly.
+:'''''Comfortable shoes and appropriate clothes.'''''
 ====What to Bring:====
-'''''Drinks and a lunch.''''' Students should bring drinks and snacks, if desired. Weekend classes over three hours generally incorporate a one hour lunch break. Spark has a refrigerator and microwave available,or students can avail themselves of a number of restaurants in downtown New London.
+:'''''Drinks and a lunch.'''''
-'''''Personal Protective Equipment (optional).''''' All classes in the woodshop will require the use of protective eyewear (ANSI Z87 rated). Ear and respiratory protection is also suggested for most classes. If you have personal equipment to meet these requirements, we encourage you to bring it. If you don’t have any of this gear, don’t worry - Spark will supply all the required equipment to safely complete your class.
+:'''''Personal Protective Equipment (optional).'''''
 ====Where to Park:====
-'''''On the street, or in back of the building.'''''
+:'''''On the street, or in back of the building.'''''
-Street parking is usually available on State Street, but is limited to 2 hour parking between 8am and 6pm. For non-members, the street parking allows easier access to the building as only the front door has a doorbell. There are also some parking spaces in the rear of the building. If you park in back,please ensure that you are in a Spark space and not one belonging to the church. Parking gets quite tight on Sunday mornings or when the church has an event. Non-members parking in the rear of the building should expect to knock VERY LOUDLY on the rear door in order to be let into the building.
