Learn to create a simple fixture that you can use to make chopsticks from your wood scraps! Creating jigs for various processes in woodworking adds efficiency and the ability to create large batches of work to your skill set. In class we will cover the use of the table saw, router table and get plenty of hands-on practice with block planes as we get to work cranking out a pile of chopsticks. Students can expect to leave class with a planing board of their own, a few pairs of completed chopsticks, and the skills and knowledge (and the jig!) to create many more! Experience with woodworking is helpful, but not required.

A $10 materials fee will be added to the total class fee at checkout
Enrollment is open to students ages 18 and up

Vogel, Josie

Josie Vogel is an artist, woodworker and educator, working with the skills and traditions of craft to explore sculptural forms in useful objects. While pursuing her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in sculpture at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, she fell in love with woodworking and has dedicated her career to the craft ever since. Whether in the form of sculpture, furniture, or small goods, her work prioritizes craft, utility, and the inherent beauty of the material. She creates objects that delight the eye and are meant to be touched, held, and put to good use. Through her work, Josie creates simple and elegant forms from a material that is alive with color, texture, luster and movement.

Josie makes her work in her home wood shop, surrounded by trees (for inspiration!) in Central North Carolina. Her work is available for purchase through Hudson’s Hill in Greensboro, NC and the Marta Blades Shop at Sawtooth in Winston-Salem. You can view her latest work on her website at josievogelstudio.com.

Josie is currently the Director of Woodworking at Sawtooth.
