About this Event

Event Description

Building a bookcase is one of our most popular workshops — and for good reason.

In this three-day, hands-on class, you’ll build a Shaker-inspired, solid Cherry bookcase that is both beautiful and highly functional. Designed to work in any space or décor, this piece features two adjustable shelves, plus a fixed bottom shelf and top for generous storage.

This class is beginner-friendly, and no prior woodworking experience is required. Master craftsman Raúl Ramírez will guide you through each step of the process, from layout and joinery to final assembly. With small class sizes, every student receives plenty of individual instruction and support.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with a completed bookcase ready for the finish of your choice — and a solid foundation of woodworking skills you’ll use for years to come.
