San Diego Craft Collective, 2590 Truxtun Rd., Studio 106, SD 92106 • 619.273.3235 • make@sandiegocraft.org

This workshop is held indoors in our woodshop, so we suggest:
• Dress in layers so you can adjust to the studio temperature. We work with windows open.
• Bring water/beverage.
• Wear closed-toe shoes — dropping tools on toes really hurts!
• Long hair must be tied back.
• Do not wear clothing with flowy sleeves and no dangly jewelry as these items can get caught on tools and machines.

DIRECTIONS: Located in Liberty Station’s Arts District, you can find our studio at the end of the hallway on the 1st floor of the Dorothea Laub Music & Arts Center (Bldg 176) at the corner of Roosevelt & Truxtun, next to The Lot movie theater. There is plenty of free parking. Parking Lot Q is behind our studio — enter via the driveway off Dewey. Across the street in the Vons parking lot, it is also free. If you can’t find us, call or text 619.273.3235.

CLASS SIZE: 3 min. If the minimum is not met, you will receive a full refund or credit toward another class.

REFUNDS: No refunds for tardiness or no-shows. For a refund (minus a 5% processing fee), you must cancel 7 days before the start of the class. After 7 days, we cannot offer refunds, as materials and supplies have already been purchased.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:
Todd Partridge began his professional career in graphic design, working as a staff artist for a major Southern California newspaper. After completing his under graduate design degree at San Diego State University, he held positions as a designer and art director for several award winning design studios and advertising agencies in the San Diego area. He ultimately ventured out on his own providing design and illustration solutions for a wide variety of clientele.
The second chapter in Todd’s career began as a hobby: designing and building furniture. This new found passion lead to graduate studies, again at SDSU. Here he earned his Master of Fine Arts degree in Furniture Design under the tutelage of Wendy Maruyama. In the years since he teaches as a college lecturer in art, design and furniture making.
Chapter three sees Todd owning a building yet another business. The business, Sole Handplanes, is a surf brand that produces and sells bodysurfing products worldwide.
