This five-day workshop invites young artists to explore wood as a creative material. Using age-appropriate hand tools, students will cut, shape, and assemble wood into expressive forms. Stan will provide technical guidance and help students to take projects in their own directions, inspired by their ideas and imagination. With an emphasis on process, experimentation, and discovery, students will learn foundational tool skills while developing patience, problem-solving, and confidence in a supportive studio environment.
