Description :

An opportunity to collaborate and bond, our intergenerational programs offer woodworking lessons for adults and children to create imaginative projects alongside each other.

In this course each student will make their own wooden automobile, practicing how to safely use a variety of different tools and techniques in the woodshop. Let your creativity play! 

Each adult may bring up to two kids (age 6-15). You must purchase a ticket for each participant. All adult + kid pairings are welcome - bring your favourite neighbour, family friend, auntie, grandparent, etc - we simply require a waiver to be signed by the child’s legal guardian prior to the class start.
