Class Description:
A fun 3 to 4 hour class with other enthusiasts to build wooden holiday ornaments. These ornaments will be approximately 1⁄4 inch thick, 3 inches wide, and 3 inches tall and made out of multi-colored hardwood strips. In this beginner class, you will learn to cut thin hardwood strips, arrange into a pattern, and glue up into small pieces (similar to a cutting board glue up but smaller scale). You will also learn to utilize a pattern to mark and cut out the various shapes and then sand smooth using various tools and hand sanding methods. Finally, we will drill holes and add a small ribbon or string for hanging. We will also discuss various finishing options and materials that you can apply at home.
We will have a selection of ornament patterns and samples for you to choose from. Each student should be able to complete 3-4 ornaments during the class. Finally, if you have other ornament shapes you’d like to try, feel free to bring in an example or pictures and we might be able to assist you in creating a custom ornament, time permitting.
This is a great class for family and friends to share quality time together while creating some beautiful ornaments that you can cherish for years. The ornaments also make great hand-made holiday gifts.
