Teens explore woodworking! Monday through Friday July 27 – July 31, from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. Ages 13+ years welcome! Woodworker Aleya Lanteigne welcomes teens for a week of skill-building in the woodshop! This camp introduces Teens to woodworking basics, properties of wood and machine safety while designing and completing one or two projects, dependent on the pace of each student. Teens will explore building their own bandsaw box and a wooden vase, time permitting. We invite Teens into our woman-run woodshop to learn shop safety and how to use machines such as the bandsaw, scroll saw, spindle sander and drill press. A mix of woodworking techniques, including hand tools and safe practice of machine operations, proper sanding and finishing will be covered. All materials are included. This camp is for teens with an interest in learning woodworking. Cell phones will be put away during this camp. Teens must be at least 13 years old to participate, since we’ll be using big machines in addition to hand tools. • Military, first responders and sibling discounts • Scholarships available San Diego Craft Collective on Facebook / Instagram
