Based on Joshua Klein’s forthcoming online course (Wild Craft), this four-day class (September 14-17, 2027) takes students into the woods of pre-industrial handcraft. Literally. They will be felling trees with axes; riving and hewing stock; and using shaving horses and drawknives, T-handled augers, bowl adzes, and slöjd knives to create a plethora of green woodworking projects. In a choose-your-own-adventure manner, students will be variously making wooden coat hooks, spoons, shrink pots, bowls, or even post-and-rung chairs from the trees they harvest. The freedom and flexibility (and, admittedly, potential chaos) of this format make this workshop unlike any other green woodworking class out there. If you’re looking to dive head first into the world of green woodworking, and you’re just curious about it all, this is the class for you.
One student from a 2026 workshop said of his time:
“I enjoyed the balance of hard woodworking, grounding in nature and respect for the material that we use, and a bit of social and natural history. I found the woodworking experience a wonderful opportunity to reinforce skills acquired through the M&T apprenticeship program.”
- Rob S.
All the needed tools and benches will be provided, although students are welcome to bring a small chest of their own tools. There are eight spots available, and if you don’t get one before they’re gone, email us at workshops@mortiseandtenonmag.com to get on the wait list. If anyone has to back out, we will work our way down the list.
The workshop cost is $985 and includes a continental breakfast and lunch every day of the class. If you prefer, you can break the tuition into four biweekly payments by selecting the Shop Pay option at checkout. The rest of the workshop logistics can be found here.
After checkout, Klein will be reaching out to students with more information, a waiver, etc. Looking forward to seeing you in Maine!
