In this hands-on workshop, participants will design and create their own custom wooden sign using reclaimed wood. Perfect for beginners and DIY enthusiasts alike, this class guides you through each step of the process—from selecting materials to finishing your piece—so you leave with a unique sign ready to display at home or give as a gift.
We’ll start by choosing from a curated selection of reclaimed wood, learning about its character, grain, and imperfections, and how to work with them. Participants will then plan their sign design, choosing wording, layout, and style. Instruction will be provided on sanding and preparing the wood, followed by techniques for transferring designs, painting or staining, and sealing for durability.
All tools, materials, and safety instruction are provided. Throughout the workshop you’ll receive guided instruction as well as individual support, making this a relaxed and creative environment where no prior woodworking experience is required.
By the end of the session, each participant will leave with a one-of-a-kind reclaimed wood sign and the skills to continue creating on their own.
*The time allotted is an estimated time. You may finish earlier & just hang out and chill too if you do!
