Winter workshops not to miss!

John Brickels: Clay Barn Relief Workshop barn

The work of John Brickels always draws an audience--you may have seen his clay sculptures in a store window on Church Street, or watched the artist himself sculpt live at an Art Hop or two. Working in fine detail with clay, John Brickels creates lively and dilapidated miniature barns, buildings, factories, and robots. For this one-day workshop, you will get the chance to make your own barn relief with a renowned sculptor.

Two workshop dates are available:

Tuesday, Feb 9th, 10:00am to 4:00pm

Saturday, March 20th, 10:00am to 4:00pm

Garrett Hack: Precision with Handtools

Hand tools open up new vistas of efficiency, accuracy, and enjoyment for woodworkers, even those with modest skills. In this course, students will be lead through a series of exercises, based on typical furniture making techniques, which expand and refine their hand tool skills. These include flattening boards to polished smoothness, fairing curves, fitting a drawer face to an opening, jointing edges, exploring edge shapes, and cutting a simple joint or two. Discussion covers tuning and using a variety of planes, marking tools, chisels and saws.

This is a weekend-long workshop.

Saturday and Sunday, March 13th and 14th, 9:00am to 4:00pm
