Forest Woodcraft Youth Workshop

June 15 - June 17
Forest Woodcraft Youth Workshop is an immersive 3-day class for youths ages 12-15. It is an introduction to the longstanding tradition of green woodworking: working wood fresh from the tree using simple hand tools. No electricity or big machines required– just some patience, focus, and creativity!

Over the course of the workshop, participants will learn: how to select trees responsibly, fell them safely, process them into manageable pieces, read the grain, and shape green wood into functional objects. Instruction focuses on the tools, tool sharpening, and many of the techniques used in green woodwork with an emphasis on safety, efficiency, and respect for the material.

If your youth likes building things, spending the day outdoors, and learning old-school skills that still feel cool today, green woodworking might be their next favorite adventure!
