Private Classes · 1 to 3 students
Your project. Your pace.
You pick the project. You pick the time. We design the class and the piece of furniture you’ll build, and provide everything you’ll need, for one, two or three students at a bench in our Austin shop.
From $100 an hour · 4-hour minimum · tools and design included
Before you apply
Measure out your hours.
A cutting board might take an afternoon; a chair takes longer. Pick who’s coming, drag the tape to the hours you have in mind, and see what the teaching comes to. We’ll settle the real number together once we’ve seen your project.

How it comes together
From your idea to a piece you made.
No set syllabus and no class calendar to wait for. A private class is drawn up around one piece of furniture, and the person (or two, or three) building it.
