  Open shop is a time for you to bring in any projects or crafts you are working on and have access to the tools and the space. While we will have an instructor on staff to help open shop run smoothly and make sure tools are being used safely, this is a self-directed work time NOT class time. Open shop is capped at 7 participants and needs 5 participants to run.

  Registrants of open shop MUST have taken power tools 101 or be comfortable and experienced using power tools.  
  
  Every attendee of open shop must register. Please no guests without registration!

  Until further notice, NO GREENWOOD ON THE BANDSAWS.

  NO LATHE USE AT OPEN SHOP. Instead please register for one of our Open Turning Sessions.

  Please email hello@fireweedwoodshop.org if you have any questions about open shop or what tools are available to use.

  * We do require masking indoors, whatever your vaccination status *

  This craft hang is gathering in the hand tools classroom at Fireweed Woodshop. The purpose of a Fireweed Crafting Hang is for students and members to get together around making and crafting , share skills and chit chat, get to know each other, enjoy the Woodshop's space, community, and belonging. It's perfect for students who started a spoon in class and would like to use Fireweed's carving knives to finish up. Other handcraft projects could include woodblock carving, figure carving, Kolrosing, chip carving, hand sanding, etc....

  6:30-8:30pm  Registration is free or give what you can without pressure!

  Bring your own hand-carving project to the shop for some company, community, and sharing tips and tricks. This is NOT A CLASS, just a hangout. 

  
  

  What to bring:
  

  a mask (fireweed masks up indoors; extra masks are always available too)

  -your project (all handcrafts welcome!)

  - your carving tools (we usually have some spoon blanks for sale)
