Introduction

Do you have a child that likes to create objects out of wood? Our founder, Reverend Lynwood Smith recognized the value of teaching kids how to live a well-crafted life when he began the Shelburne Craft School with afterschool woodworking over 70 years ago. Join our legacy by learning how to make a one of a kind functional object that will be enjoyed for years to come! Students ages 10-14 will learn from a woodworking professional in our charming historic light-filled woodshop about shop safety and how to use a variety of hand tools such as files, rasps, and wood burners. Your child will gain confidence making creative decisions in an atmosphere that is fun and supportive and by the end of the 14 week season they will have learned how to make several functional projects.
