9001. Introduction to Woodworking
Class - Wood | FULL
Start from the very beginning learning foundational hand and machine skills to cut clean accurate joinery and build simple furnishings with wood. Once you've gained confidence in the basics, we will work our way through all the major machines of the wood studio to mill and dimension lumber and build this modern plant stand with half lap joinery. Skills we will be developing with this project are accuracy in marking and measuring, familiarity in working with tools and discussion of finding the right finish for the work. The plant stand we make in class will accommodate a plant pot roughly 8 - 10 inches in diameter.
Additional Information:

- Registration will close one week prior to the start of class

Josie Vogel
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.
