Maker’s Monthly Apprenticeship

The Maker’s Monthly Apprenticeship is a structured, hands-on woodworking program designed for students ready to grow their skills through consistent practice, expert mentorship, and real project builds.

This is not a drop-in class — it’s a committed path to becoming a confident, capable maker.

Each month, you’ll complete one fully guided project while building technical skill, tool confidence, and creative independence in the shop.

3-Month Minimum Commitment
