Tea and bench setup

Technique demonstration

Assisted bench making

Finishing and kit packing

Arrive at ten for loose-leaf herbal tea, unroll your studio apron, and inspect your pre-measured raw materials and heirloom brass tools.

Watch live bench demonstrations breaking down core mechanics, material tension, and safe tool handling before starting your piece.

Work through your project at a calm rhythm with continuous one-on-one troubleshooting and adjustment from the lead instructor.

Complete final edge knots, trim stray fibers, or label kiln pieces, then pack extra raw materials to continue practicing at your table.

Studio reservations

Classes run Saturday and Sunday mornings. Private bench buyouts available for groups up to eight.
