Epoxy & Wood Charcuterie Board

Part 1: Thursday, July 11, 5:30 PM - 8:30 PM

Part 2: Thursday, July 18, 5:30 PM - 8:30 PM

Using resins and epoxies can help create beautiful projects, but which resin or epoxy is right for the job? Do I use a urethane resin or do I use an epoxy? (Wait, there’s a difference?!) How deep can I pour my resin or epoxy? What happens if I don’t mix using the correct ratio of resin/epoxy to hardener? How much do I pour? These are all questions (and then some) that will be answered during this class. In this two day class, we will be using the Jess Crow HDPE Reusable Forms to create a hybrid wood and epoxy cutting (or charcuterie) board. Day one will consist of a discussion about resin or epoxy and by the end of day one, students will pour TotalBoat ThickSet epoxy into an HDPE form that will become their own creation that they take home after day two. On day two (one week later), students will work with their demolded creations to flatten them and turn them into beautiful cutting boards or charcuterie boards that they will finish (during the class) and take home.

Hand Cut Joinery

Friday, July 19, 9:30 AM - 3:30 PM

Have you ever wanted to work with hand cut wood joinery and been intimidated by the process? Join Woodcraft for a day class on hand tools and joinery. Students will start the day with learning to make straight cuts with a hand saw before learning through dovetails, one of the most commonly used joints for building sturdy, beautiful corners. Also included in the class tuition is a 10" gents handle dovetail saw, an excellent beginner saw that students can use for this class and years to come.
