The fall Woodturning Co-op provides access to the woodturning workshop during non-class times. Co-op members should be safety and technically evaluated to work independently, however it is strongly recommended to work with others in the room. Woodturning Co-op registration must be pre-approved by Matt Radtke (unless a renewing student) with waiver forms in place. Co-op members are expected to follow all recommendations for safety, including working only when an additional member is in the room. Access is Monday through friday 9:00AM - 9:00PM, Saturday 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM, unless a class is taking place. Please check schedule before arrival. For more information please contact matt.radtke@gmail.com.

Please note you must register for each season separately: Fall, Winter/Spring, Summer. Enrollment for Fall does not carry over. Thank you.

Build and weave your own stool in the Appalachian folk tradition. In this two-day class, we will start with a red oak log, recycled from an urban tree in Annapolis’s Historic District, and end by weaving the seat out with hickory bark from the Shenandoah Valley. Hickory bark is a traditional Appalachian weaving material– it has a lot of character, and it is more durable than modern weaving materials (e.g. rattan, danish cord, shaker tape). You will take your woven stool home at the end of class, and the skills you learn will enable you to turn firewood into stools in your own backyard! All work will be done with hand tools provided by the instructor. No woodworking experience is required. This class is physically demanding, but very rewarding. Please take a look at the videos in the link here for an example of the physical activity involved! https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1UrRbUFC9ehCAbMoxDePoHTpicQB41_W8?usp=sharing
