Support Woodworking

Wood-loving students learn to make such a wide range of items in our beautiful, old stone woodworking studio: Shaker tables and boxes, Windsor chairs, twig furniture, marquetry, butcher blocks, toys, and much more. This program area requires a lot of supplies, and your donation will help keep this popular program strong. Donate today to support our woodworking program’s general operations and capital needs or provide a woodworking scholarship.
