Introduction to Tools Workshop
In this workshop you will learn tool use and safety, team building and have fun doing it! You will be trained to use a variety of tools to begin your woodworking adventure. Following your hands on training, you will form small groups, where you will collaborate to take a design from conceptualization to completion as you find solutions to everyday problems.
NOTE: This workshop takes place at Community Workshop NOLA located at 1201 Mazant St, New Orleans, LA 70117.
