We offer weekend, evening, and 2-5 day courses in book arts, jewelry making, woodworking, carpentry, weaving, musical instrument making, and more, including a Three-Month Furniture Making Intensive.
Unlike our full-time Career Training program, there is no application or admissions process—simply register for the course you’d like to take on our website whenever you’re ready, including payment.
