Woodworking School
The Guild of Oregon Woodworkers offers a series of courses to help you learn the craft of woodworking.
These informal courses are designed to provide a rudimentary instruction into woodworking and will give
you some basics needed to take more structured hands-on classes.
Each course is taught be qualified woodworkers who have years of woodworking and teaching experience.
From here you can go on to more advanced
courses either through the Guild, Northwest
Woodworking Studio, Portland Community
College or the Oregon College of Arts and
Crafts
The Guild is offering these courses as a result of the demise in vocational school programs. It is up to
outside organizations to take on this responsibility. We feel it is in the best interest of the "Art of
Woodworking" that we take up that call.
If you are interested in introductory woodworking courses or one of the specific courses listed on this page
please fill out the
application and send to the address listed. You will then be contacted confirming your
seat or when new courses are planned.
