Who is this class for:
Hammerstone courses are open to all women and gender minorities. Hammerstone welcomes all trans folks including trans men. This course welcomes folks of all skill levels with no prerequisite.

Description: 
This is one of our most popular courses, so sign up early to reserve a spot. We know what makes it a fave - you get to learn brand new skills and leave with a beautiful and functional piece of outdoor furniture. The camaraderie of fellow students and instructors and the Finger Lakes setting (it’s not the Adirondacks, but a pretty close second) makes this two day course the perfect getaway. 

The Adirondack chairs built in this class are constructed from locally sourced, naturally rot-resistant larch. We have honed the design and believe this is the most comfortable Adirondack chair around.

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.
