AWFS Fair

I received an educational scholarship to go to the Association of Woodworking and Furniture Suppliers' trade show this summer. There were a lot of very fancy machines to oggle.

Rosie's Girls

This summer I got to teach carpentry to middle school girls through the trades program Rosie's Girls. There were two groups of girls-- apprentices and journeywomen-- based on their experience. They made chairs and chests, respectively. It was definitely challenging at times but I had a ton of fun and discovered that I love teaching.
