About the class

Arched Plant Stand Trio

Everyone needs a beautiful arched plant stand to display their potted plants. Even better is a grouping of three multi-height stands to showcase an arrangement of three plants. These simple, yet attractive stands are 10.5 inches wide with heights of 7", 11", and 15". They are built out of specialized water resistant MDF (Armorite) and can be utilized indoors or outdoors. The stands are designed to hold an 8" plastic pot saucer (included with the class) to minimize any excess liquid that might escape from plant watering. This fun, short class will teach you some great woodworking skills while laying out and constructing this sturdy trio of arched stands. Come join fellow plant lovers and woodworking enthusiasts for a great experience.

What are Community Classes?

Community Classes are focused on growing the woodworking community, teaching basic woodworking skills and increasing access to tools and wood. These classes are run by skilled volunteers and build 1 small project completed in only a few hours. The class sizes are kept small and the number of tools used is limited. Each student signs their own waiver, and you can add seats for friends when you book.
