The Port Townsend School of Woodworking offers weekend and one or two week courses on woodworking, cabinet making, furniture making, historic preservation and traditional woodcrafts.

The School is located at the heart of Fort Worden State Park, Washington. Port Townsend is a Victorian sea port located at the entrance to Puget Sound about 2 hours away from downtown Seattle in the Pacific NW.

We offer:

  • Classes for Beginning Woodworkers
    Our beginner classes are designed for folks who don't know one end of a chisel from the other but want to learn. We'll guide you through each step of mastering the basic skills.
  • Classes for Intermediate and Advanced Woodworkers
    Our advanced courses will build your confidence with hand tools, stationary tools, design, and finishing. We will introduce you to advanced techniques like steam bending and veneering.
  • A Wide Variety of courses
    From the pragmatic to the artful: "Quick-Joinery" techniques for cabinetry; weekend project courses; advanced design and construction; Jim Tolpin's hand tool intensives; Shaker benches to sculptural fine furniture.
  • One to Ten Day Classes
    Our classes are short but intense. The intensity is leavened with humour and examples from our experiences. Accomodation is available at the Fort or elsewhere in Port Townsend.
