Come join us on the job site and become part of the crew as we layout, cut, and raise a timber frame oven shelter. All skill levels welcome. Students will be encouraged to take as much knowledge as their brains are safely able to hold and to practice with tools and techniques as much as they feel comfortable. The goal is for each student to leave with a greater level of confidence and excitement for the next stage of your building journey.
This class is a community build class, where all students work together on a project for a predetermined recipient. For this reason, there is no materials fee, only tuition, which helps support the teacher and the school as you learn these new skills.
Age Requirement: this class is for adults 18 years and older.
Location: TBD (registration through Highland Woodshop)
