woodworking summer camp- lounge chair

Discover the joy of working with your hands and build a comfy lounge chair out of wood. This hands-on, project-oriented camp includes the full range of furniture making skills. You will hammer, saw, screw, sand, and drill to your heart’s content as you turn a pile of scraps into a work of function and beauty. You will understand how perfection is achieved by working through problems with your hands. You will literally leave your mark on the chair by using etching, stamping, and staining. At the end of the week, you will take the chair home as well as new abilities to handle tools with the same expertise you handle your cell phone!

Kids will use handsaws, hammers, drills, screwdrivers, files and other tools.  Electric saw excluded.

Led byMichael Patterson

With the help of his father and brother, Michael built his first tree house at the age of 6.  Mounted 7 feet off the ground, the tree house was complete with real roof, a couch, a TV and is still standing tall to this day.  Since then he has been helping his dad in his woodshop building cabinets and other fun projects.

Michael previously co-taught at Celsius in the Architecture camp.

Michael was the captain of the basketball and track teams in High School.  He is currently an economics major at San Francisco State University. He is planning on becoming a firefighter so that he can save houses and treehouses from fire.
