Service Learning: Children’s stools

Sunday, 3/15, 9am - 1pm

This is a special pop-up workshop generously offered by Karl Zinmaster of St. Maud’s, who will be visiting from Pence, Wisconsin for the day. This is a beginner-friendly workshop that combines skill-building and elbow grease to create small stools for the cPC workshop. Together, we’ll build 3-legged stools from wood using basic tools. The design we’ll follow is one of many variations often used as milking stools around the world. Our stools will be scaled to be especially useful to kids at Center for People and Craft!
