Build a Bookcase


  • Hammerstone: Carpentry for Women 3285 Jacksonville Rd. Trumansburg, NY (map)

Who is this class for:
This course is open to women-identifying and non-binary folx as well as trans men of any skill level without a prerequisite.

Description: 
One of the wonderful things about learning a craft like woodworking is that many of the things you make are functional as well as beautiful.  I personally believe you can never have too many bookcases, but these lovely pine shelves can also function as shoe storage, or a place to keep art supplies.  This class is designed for absolute beginners, and introduces simple dado joinery.  After this introduction, you can experiment with other, more complicated shelf systems.

HOW TO CHOOSE A PAYMENT >

  • I consider myself middle income/wealth. Paying this price may be a sacrifice, but I can find the resources to do so. This is the full cost of running a course including paying our teachers a fair wage, covering insurance, maintaining tools and facilities, managing administration, and supporting our family.

  • I consider myself low-income/low-wealth. I cannot access this course without financial help.

  • I consider myself low-middle income/wealth. Paying full price for this course presents somewhat of a financial hardship.

  • I consider myself upper-middle income/wealth. I would like to make a donation on top of the full price of the course in order to help subsidize access for those who cannot pay the full tuition.

  • I have the resources to make a substantial donation to ensure that these classes remain accessible to people of all income/wealth levels.
