Woodworking is a dangerous craft. It is also one that depends upon the individual to fully understand its consequences. Ignoring safety practices, using tools improperly, or operating tools under the influence of alcohol or drugs may lead to serious injury. Don't attempt any technique unless you fully understand it. It is our role to provide you with instruction so rely on us for assistance and guidance. There are no stupid questions you can ask, so please take advantage of our expertise. We will ask you to sign a liability awareness and release form before beginning any workshop.

Gift certificates for all of the classes, workshops and lectures are available.

Find your place at The Studio

The Northwest Woodworking Studio is dedicated to teaching the art and the craft of woodworking.
People of all abilities and backgrounds are welcome to come and use their hands and eyes and hearts to build functional and beautiful objects that will last for generations to come.

Novice: For those with absolutely no woodworking experience. Feel comfortable in class with other folks who haven't laid their hands on hand tools before either!

Beginner: Taken our novice class? Done a little sawing, chiseling, or planing here and there? These classes are for you. However, students with varying levels of experience will all find something of value in these classes.
The Hand Tool Skills series falls into this category.

Advanced Beginner: You’ve had some experience at the bench or with building things, but joinery and sharpening are still mysteries to you. Our Workbench Skills class is for you.

Intermediate: For students who have taken previous beginning level classes or come to us with a fair amount of woodworking experience. The Workbench Skills series and Masterworks classes fall into this category.

All levels: Refers to Beginning level and upward. Novice level students are encouraged to take the "Woodworking for the Complete Novice" class first.
