Hammerstone courses are open to all women and gender minorities. Hammerstone welcomes all trans folks including trans men. This course welcomes folks of all skill levels with no prerequisite.

Description:
One of our most popular courses, this workshop fills up fast, so sign up early! You’ll gain hands-on experience with woodworking tools and techniques while building a functional Adirondack chair to take home. The class combines skill-building, camaraderie, and the Finger Lakes setting (not the Adirondacks, but a close second) for a perfect weekend getaway. Chairs are made from locally sourced, naturally rot-resistant larch, and we’ve refined the design to be both comfortable and durable.

HOW TO CHOOSE A PAYMENT >

  • I consider myself middle income/wealth. Paying this price may be a sacrifice, but I can find the resources to do so. This is the full cost of running a course including paying our teachers a fair wage, covering insurance, maintaining tools and facilities, managing administration, and supporting our family.

  • I consider myself low-income/low-wealth. I cannot access this course without financial help.

  • I consider myself low-middle income/wealth. Paying full price for this course presents somewhat of a financial hardship.

  • I consider myself upper-middle income/wealth. I would like to make a donation on top of the full price of the course in order to help subsidize access for those who cannot pay the full tuition.

  • I have the resources to make a substantial donation to ensure that these classes remain accessible to people of all income/wealth levels.
