Build-A-Stool with ReDiscover
If woodworking has been on your "things to try out" list forever, this one is for you…
This February, we are partnering with The ReDiscover Center to teach us how to design and construct a stool from start to finish using sustainably sourced wood and repurposed off-cuts. We will be guided through the process of designing, sawing, fastening, and finishing our very own, one-of-a-kind functional art piece to bring home! We'll learn key safety techniques and use clamps, hand or power saws, drills, and sanders.
***Designed for complete beginners, but all levels of experience welcome to come and make***
All tools, materials included
If you are like me, and have been looking for how to safely use power tools to complete those DIY projects or home repairs in a fun and creative way, plus take home something unique, this is for you.
This workshop is a highly learn-by-doing experience. ReDiscover’s talented instructors create physical and mental spaces where everyone is safe and supported in the process of making.
There will be sample designs that can be accomplished within the workshop’s allotted time. There will be plenty of creative freedom to make these uniquely your own. However, if you have a idea or design in mind, please share pictures in advance so we can see if we can help you accomplish the design during the workshop!
All guests will be required to sign a liability waiver before the workshop.
***All proceeds from ticket sales will go towards supporting ReDiscover’s hands-on maker education programs for low income, foster, and homeless youth.***

About The Casual Creative
When was the last time you did something creative just for the heck of it? As kids we played and created things with our hands all the time. That’s how we explored new objects and mediums to figure out how they work, what they mean to the world and what they mean to us. As adults, we don’t easily get enough opportunities to play and explore without the pressure to be ‘good’ or ‘productive’. The Casual Creative brings you thoughtfully designed experiences that reignite the inherent creativity and artist in all of us. Our community focused events create a cozy, safe and inspiring environment so all you have to do is show up and play! ‘Cause PLAY isn’t frivolous, it is an innate part of being human and essential to our wellbeing.
