Bring Your Broken, Beloved, and Battered
From loose legs to scuffed surfaces, this is your chance to repair a piece that’s been hanging on (barely). You’ll get guided practice using drills, clamps, sandpaper, and more to bring structure and stability back to life. If you don’t have something to fix, we’ll pair you with someone who does—or give you a practice piece to play with!

Community Potluck!

Community Potluck!
Nothing says community like a potluck. Breaking bread while building bridges, so to speak. This workshop will include a potluck, a chance to talk about what you are learning, share experiences, and get to know one another. We'll supply the main protein. Please bring something along to share with your neighbors!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty and closed-toe shoes. Bring work gloves and safety glasses if you have them.
What kind of furniture can I bring?
Bring 1–2 small wooden items—think chairs, stools, side tables, drawers, or small shelves. It should be something you can carry by yourself. We might not fix everything during class, but you’ll leave with a game plan to finish at home.
Can kids come?
This class is open to mature teens and curious adults. If you’re ready to learn and love working with your hands, you’re welcome. Everyone must have their own ticket!
Will there be food?
Yes! It’s a potluck, so bring a dish to share along with your own plate, utensils, and water bottle.
Are tools and materials provided?
Absolutely. We’ll have glue, clamps, nails, sandpaper, wood filler, and brushes ready for action. You’re welcome to bring replacement parts or hardware specific to your piece.
