Here's a preview of our 2010 Woodworking Course Schedule. We're still working on finalizing the details so there might be some changes, but we plan to be done in a week or so.
We'll open registration on December 1 (earlier for Q1 - so please sign up for our mailing list for notification).
Let us know what you think of the new schedule
Updated - 11 November 2009:
Added:
Dave Richards teaching designing with Sketchup in May (two classes)
George Edwards Unlocks the Secrets of Traditional Design in August
Date changes to Gypsy Wagon classes
Some highlights - 3 November 2009:
The Basics of Woodworking program is a series of weekend classes starting in January.
Darrell Peart is adding to his Greene and Greene classes with a weekend design seminar in November.
Garrett Hack is back in May. Michael Dresdner returns to share his finishing expertiseand Bonnie Klein is with us in May and October.
The Building a Gypsy Wagon course is being held as three day seminars in March and August.
In our extended Chairmaking program - Greg Kossow will teach Windsor Chairs and Tom Dolese teaches more contemporary designs.
Tim Celeski is teaching his long awaited Build a Workbench Class in April - you leave the class with a workbench! Tim is also designing an outdoor chair for his chairmaking class in July.
The expanded Hand Tools program includes:
Jim Tolpin's new "Beyond Plane and Simple"
Mike Wenzloff on Building a Handsaw
Dale Brotherton on the use of Japanese Handtools
Steve Brown teaching the making of traditional NW carving tools and techniques
The late Fall classes are open to change - we've pencilled in a six week class (as three two week classes) that focusses on Solid Wood Furniture making. Please let us know if the idea is appealing. We're trying to find a longer class format that will work for woodworkers who want a solid boost to their skills but can't spare 3 months or more.
