Woodworking and Basic Construction Classes
At Heartmoor, tuitions are all inclusive- general shop materials, use of tools, storage of projects, and beautiful wood. Salvage and reclamation of resources is a central focus of our design and build philosophy. Classes are designed to support the individual student in their pursuit of skills combined with the theory of practice. We understand that a missed class due to work or family conflicts is natural. We will do the best we can to find convenient make-up times for each individual student through priority placement in Wednesday Open Shop or special weekend Shop Time (dates TBD).
At Heartmoor, students are encouraged and supported to reach and exceed their personal expectations and explore new methods of work. As one student recently commented: the classes “…made the humbling experience of learning a new skill as an adult totally delightful.” -H.D.

Sawdust Scholarships
We have received so much support over the years from current and former students wanting to give a little extra and help other, younger members of our classes continue their enrollment in subsequent classes.
In 2024 we decided that it was time to formalize a ‘Sawdust Scholarship’ fund. Since then we have been able to offer students and youth discounts on classes.
These gifts, which have often been anonymously given to directly support a particular student, became a general fund making the possibility of a wider range of aspiring woodworkers and tradespeople a tangible reality.
If you are interested in contributing to this direct action or would like to support a particular young person’s interest in attending classes, send us an email or reach out in any other way. Thank You.
