Workshops Level 1

Wedge Side Table

$148

This elegant and modern end table is our most popular workshop ever. The wedge table is easy to squeeze into those small spaces, plus it’s the perfect home for a plant, magazines or wine bottles.

Walnut Cutting Board

$94

Don’t be fooled by its simplicity — this is one of our best workshops. It’s upbeat, teaches you a variety of power tools and, like all our workshops, will leave you covered in sawdust.

Picture Frame Workshop

$148

Bring your best 8”x10” picture to the shop and we’ll lead you through the process from start to finish. It’s time to enshrine those wedding vows, adorable new babies or centerpiece-worthy pet portraits.

Deco Shelf

$134

The easiest way to beautify your space is by hanging a roomy wood shelf on the wall — especially when you fill it with your favorite terrarium, barware and poetry books.

Triangle Shelf

$94

This minimalist wood shelf is all you need to brighten your space and showcase your new skills. This geometric piece is the perfect home for succulents, magazines or your vintage bottle collection.
