Woodworking Classes
Craft your own canoe paddle the same way artisans have been making paddles for centuries! Urban Boatbuilders hosts monthly paddle making classes at our workshop in St. Paul. With the help of an instructor, choose your own design, wood species, and shape your paddle. Work with a bandsaw and traditional tools such as hand planes and spokeshaves. Finalize your work by sanding and finishing with a durable varnish. No previous experience
required! You must be at least 18 years old to participate.
