4 Wednesdays each month from 4 – 5:30 p.m. Ages 9-12 years welcome! This month-long series is full of hands-on, engaging crafts using STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics). We teach hand tool skills to this age group using safe materials and practices. Each project builds on craftsmanship, dexterity and material exploration. Students will get acquainted with various woodworking tools and techniques and will be guided through a series of exercises that exercise hand-eye coordination, problem-solving, and creativity. Students will make at least one fun, high-quality project to take home over the course of the series. All materials included. Projects are changed regularly, so students can return month after month to continue to develop their skills! • Scholarships available: Click here for an application. • Homeschoolers: Click here for enrollment details. • Military and sibling discounts: Email us for more information. • One-day attendance Stay Connected with San Diego Craft Collective!
