Summer Intensive (Adults)

During August and September we offer a series of classes that provide opportunity for a week-long intensive study in woodworking, upholstery, and other disciplines.

Intensives last 4 to 5 days, usually for 5 to 7 hours a day. The experience is enriched by a diverse group of faculty and students who join us from around the country. Students taking classes in our wood shop, art room, and sewing room can gather for a breakfast and lunch in our school yard. We encourage classroom walk-throughs towards the end of the week.

We augment our Summer Intensives program with recommendations of places to stay in our neighborhood. If you are coming in from out of town, ask us for a list of local accommodations.
