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.
