looking for classes or schools

**ragincajun** · 03-19-2008, 01:26 PM

Hi everyone!

I live 20 minutes south of Houston (Pearland) and have been VERY unsuccessful in locating any schools that I can take woodworking classes. I am a beginner (I have been doing photography and would like to move into other forms of crafts).

Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't have any tools and prefer to go to a location to learn.

I'm so glad you are here!

Check out the Houston Woodworkers Club, http://www.wwch.org. And try some of the classes offered by The Cutting Edge http://www.cuttingedgetools.com/ (I'm assuming they still offer classes). I got my start there.

Thanks for all the help, Johanna.

I called The Cutting Edge and they are going to mail me a class schedule as soon as they form), but when I tried the Woodworkers Club site, it wouldn't allow me to see the page. Not sure why.

I'm happy that I finally found something, because I was getting very frustrated.

Hi,
Here are a few schools that offer woodworking classes. Marc Adams of School of Woodworking http://marcadams.com/, Kelly Mehler's School of Wodworking http://kellymehler.com/, Arrowmont school of Arts and Crafts http://www.arrowmont.org/

Thanks, sdunham, for the links. Unfortunately, none of these are located in the Houston area. As I don't have any tools, I can't do any "at home" projects as I don't have tools. (The second link didn't work)

I appreciate it.
