grindingWorkshops are generally full-day woodworking sessions with up to six students.  The Workshops focus on skill-building and learning new techniques and are very hands-on, with plenty of opportunities to try and succeed.  Both group and individual instruction will be given.   A familiarity and comfort with basic power tools and hand tools is necessary for these classes.  The currently scheduled Workshops for 2010 include:

"Fundamentals of Sculptural Woodworking"

Women in woodworking weekends

Weekend Warrior Woodworker

"Bending the Rules” - workshop on bending wood

"…I've taken a number of classes from notable craftsmen/instructors, and can say that my most rewarding experiences have been my two classes with Andy Chidwick.  I’ve left his classes empowered with new skills to employ in other projects.  People see the chairs I've made and are stunned... Thanks to Andy, I'm a ROCK STAR woodworker in my friends' eyes.” -Bruce
