In todays face pace technology society it is very important to introduce your children to a hand made world without iPad, smartphones and video games to distract them.

It’s school break and perfect time to create something together with your child. An experience for working and building with wood is rewarding on its own, but it is even more special if you get to share the experience with your little one.

In this workshop we will guide you and your child through a process of working with wood and together you will work on a final product a wooden piece of furniture of your design.

WOKRSHOP CONTENT:

During tis workshop you will master each of 3 main steps in building and working with wood.

• Planning: Starting with a pencil and a paper. You will learn how to make a good sketch for your project. What needs to be considered and what are the restrains of materials you are using.
• Measuring: If you want your table to stand, you need to make sure you have the right measurements. You will apply your measurements on the piece of wood and begin with the first cut.

• Machines and tools: Working with wood demands knowledge of some dangerous machines. While building your own product everyone will get a chance to try each of the machines in safe and guided environment. It is very important to understand machine restrictions and to overcome the fear as well as to handle them responsibly.

While tackling the three milestones of woodworking you will be learning by building. Everyone will be working with a same piece of wood but will be able to apply different design patters and usages of the product. You can build anything from Coffee or Sofa table, shoe bench, hocker or a laptop holder. Please note there are some limitations to keep in mind.

As each parent and child will receive their own wooden plate, you are able to build a combined project or two separate products.
