Each project features premium black walnut and other fine hardwoods, paired with epoxy in colors chosen on site, with up to two colors available. After the session, every piece cures for about a week before entering a detailed finishing process that typically takes 8 to 10 weeks, with timing influenced by class size and shipping logistics. Finished creations are then shipped to arrive in excellent condition. All ticket sales are final. If you cannot attend, someone may come in your place. Every attendee aged 12 and older needs a ticket, and a couples ticket allows two people to collaborate on one project.
