Little builders are welcome to Minni Wood Workshop, a workshop all about foundational woodworking skills and designing the best birdhouses on the block. Minni Instructor and skilled woodworker Eugene will guide students through the approachable process of designing and constructing their own birdhouses using kid tested tools. Students will accumulate a working knowledge of woodworking techniques, including measuring, sanding, setting screws, and hammering. WoodShop will be wrapped up with a little bit of color, as students paint and personalize their finished houses.
