What better way to learn survival skills – Ala: Octavia Butler – than through hands-on woodworking projects! In this class, we will design and build functional garden beds just like they did in Lauren Olamina’s neighborhood. Students will practice basic shop safety while learning how to design, plan, and make a functional object intended for a specific purpose. Students will learn basic joinery, cutting, and finishing techniques, and will walk away from class confident in their ability to design, plan, and execute simple woodworking projects.
