Explore Woodworking Classes
These classes are designed for children who have an interest in creating with their hands and learning the basics of woodworking. Your teacher Tom will guide students in the use of hand and power tools, as well as teach them the proper techniques to use them safely. Students will learn to create their own wooden projects such as birdhouses, picture frames, and other small items. Join us, learn a new skill and create something beautiful.
Tom McLaughlin
Tom has been making and designing commissioned custom furniture since 1990. After years of higher education in his twenties, he decided at 29 to pursue his love for fine furniture making full-time. His training launched forward when he entered a rare apprenticeship with master craftsman P.A. “Pug” Moore in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. Tom remained close to Pug, even after branching out on his own, which included returning to his native New England roots where he’s been making furniture and teaching since 1997.
