Woodshop Class - Holiday Tree
Description
Combine wood and glasswork in this seasonal decoration! Participants will split the day between the woodshop and the stained glass studio, with a lunch break in between.
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.
