Ages 9-12 years welcome!

This month-long series is full of hands-on, engaging crafts using STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics). We teach hand tool skills to this age group using safe materials and practices. Each project builds on craftsmanship, dexterity and material exploration.

Students will get acquainted with various woodworking tools and techniques and will be guided through a series of exercises that exercise hand-eye coordination, problem solving, and creativity. Students will make at least one fun, high-quality project to take home over the course of the series.

All materials included. Projects are changed regularly, so students can return month after month to continue to develop their skills!

Drop-ins are welcome! Is your child curious about woodworking & taking this class? Choose ‘Drop In Date’ from the drop-down menu (please purchase 48 hours in advance so we can have supplies ready) and tell us which date you’re child will come in the Notes section at checkout.

Afterschool Series | Kids Woodworking | 9-12yrs
4 Wednesdays each month from 4 – 5:30pm
Select a date from the drop-down menu.

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

This class is typically held outdoors from March – October, so we suggest:
• Dress in layers, bring a hat, apply sunscreen (if needed) so you can adjust to the weather.
• Bring water/beverage.
• Wear closed-toe shoes. Dropping tools on feet really hurts!
• Wear comfortable clothes that can get messy. Sometimes we use paint that doesn’t wash out.

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/6 Max. If the minimum is not met, you will receive a full refund or credit toward another class. Some classes welcome one-day visits. Purchase your child’s drop in ticket from the drop-down menu at least 48 hours in advance so we can have materials prepped.

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.

TRANSFERS: You may transfer your enrollment space to someone else, but transfers must happen for the entire course, and before the course begins. Please email us to let us know who’s coming.

INTEREST LIST: If a class is full or you would like to be notified of future offerings, join our Interest List to be notified when new dates or spaces are available.
