About this Workshop

Have leftover wood taking up space in your shop? What about an unused wooden chair or a small dresser with a broken drawer? Instead of throwing these materials away, give them a new purpose. In this class, students will learn the basics of designing and constructing a wood mosaic using reclaimed materials and patterns inspired by traditional quilt blocks. Students will learn how to select and cut pieces of wood, so they fit together, arrange them into an eye-catching design, and add color and texture to bring the mosaic to life. It is a creative and practical way to transform discarded materials into something truly special.
