To kick things off, Shaper staff will lead an Origin Fundamentals session on Friday afternoon where attendees will have an opportunity to brush up on Shaper Origin skills and get a thorough walkthrough of Shaper's ecosystem. Saturday's classes will be approximately two hours each and cover a mix of demonstration, hands-on instruction, and lecture.

Beyond Functional Joinery

With Erik Curtis

Often times well-executed exposed joinery is the only embellishment a piece needs. In this hands-on workshop participants will learn Erik’s steps to crafting tight-fitting joinery as well as making a table leg joint using Shaper Origin and standard shop tools.
