Event Info

Learn the basics of wood working, and build your own table.

Event Start Date: Monday, Jun 13, 2022 | 9:00 am

Overview & Curriculum

This project is an opportunity for teens to learn beginner and intermediate woodworking techniques. Particiants will have design autonomy over the table they make, and tool use will start with safety training. Throughout the course of the week students will learn more advanced techniques, and use both hand and power tools to build a unique table with geometric top design.

After the project each student will have the opportunity to share their work with the community by displaying their table at the Lynchburg Art Club.

Elise Spontarelli

Elise loves vectors. She's made an entrepreneurial career rendering lines, arcs, and polygons, and since cofounding Vector Space, the addiction has only gotten worse. You'll often find Elise giving her designs life by vinyl cutting, laser engraving, and silk screening. When she's not enthralled by graphics, you'll find her in the wood shop making toys and home decor.

Elise is also a strong advocate of the maker movement, and Vector Space's fearless leader.
