Staked Side Table

Wednesdays, July 15, 22, 29: 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM

In this class, we’ll make a staked side table. It’s a perfect companion when you’re sitting and carving, knitting, or just sipping your morning coffee. It’s also plenty strong enough to double as a stool - or as spring board if you have any young, aspiring gymnasts in your home. 

Through this project, we’ll cover all of the fundamental skills of staked furniture, as well as how these skills can be used to make a world of other pieces for your home. Everything from chairs, to dining tables, to bed frames can all be made in this style.

As we build a more robust scholarship program, we hope this initial launch will remove barriers and expand access to hands-on learning for all.

    Anyone with financial need is encouraged to apply for a half-tuition scholarship. To be considered, please submit a brief online application. Please note that CENTER FOR PEOPLE AND CRAFT is operating with limited financial resources and an entirely volunteer staff. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a spot for every applicant.
