Step into the woodshop with master builder Jaylin Stahl for a hands-on introduction to carpentry. In this small-group intensive, you’ll learn the safe use of essential tools and build your own handcrafted chess board or cutting board to take home.

Whether you’re brand new to woodworking or ready to refine your skills, this is a chance to build with purpose, precision, and pride. Along the way, you’ll gain confidence in the shop and develop practical craftsmanship you can carry forward.

In this workshop, you will:

• Learn safe operation of common woodworking tools and machines

• Understand key carpentry concepts like measurement, layout, grain direction, and finishing

• Practice patience and persistence through detailed, focused construction

• Collaborate in a respectful, safety-first shop culture led by a seasoned professional

Important: Students must commit to attending all four sessions. This is a small-group, high-focus environment where safety and full participation are essential.

This 4-week workshop will happen over November and December. November 7, November 14, December 6, December 12.
