Don Weber leads this weekend workshop. Over two days, learn traditional woodworking and furniture building techniques to create your own cricket table. Hand planes, spoke shaves, jigs and joinery, as well as a lesson in wood engraving, so you can finish by putting your own design on top (Maybe some religious imagery, or a protection spell, or just a squiggly line? That's your call!).
The Cricket Table is a traditional 3-legged piece of furniture, dating back as far as the 16th century. Every cricket table is unique, and you'll have plenty of opportunity to make it your own as you work through this project with Don.
Don Weber, the Bodger of Paint Lick, is a traditional woodworker, furniture and fly-rod maker. We've been lucky to have him leading workshops for the past three years through our traditional craft program. Do not miss this opportunity!
Minimum age: 16 (adult must be present for minors).
This is a pay what you can event, with limited seats - there WILL be waitlists. Furniture classes are usually pretty expensive, and our volunteer group puts in untold hours prepping for these workshops with our instructors - we encourage you to give what you are able to (even if that's $0). Our grant with Berea College allows us to do what we can to make these events as accessible as possible.
Our event system does not allow for sliding scale pricing - please pay through our Paypal account (credit cards accepted) or through cash at the door.
We WILL be reaching out as the event approaches to make sure you can still attend, if you've signed up.
