2026 Workshops starting in Oct 2026

Don't be one of the crowd when learning Intarsia. Unlike other intarsia workshops, you do not need to take beginner or intermediate classes before you can take the advanced class you want. I am offering Private and Semi- Private Specialized Intarsia workshops for one or two woodworkers. This is a very special in-depth class that will focus strictly on the skills that you would like to improve upon. Class skill levels will be from beginner to very advanced. I will pair up students of equal skill levels and goals for the semi-private classes. We also pick a project/animal that you would like to create in class. By using Kathy's unique Intarsia techniques it will be completed in our two day class from cutting to applying final finish. You will get all the individual attention you deserve and go home with a finished project.

I would like you to bring 3-4 pieces of your work for us to review together, and then together, we can determine what areas can be improved upon. Workshops are 2 days, six hours each day. Class starts at 9:00 and goes to 3:30 or 4 depending on the lunch break.

The cost is $400 for semi-private and $700 for a private class. I require a deposit of ½ down and the balance due the day of the class. Full money refund if you cancel 2 weeks before your class date. Classes are held in Emmett, Michigan, which is about 1 hour north of Detroit and 1/2 hour from Port Huron and Sarnia, ON Canada.

Flexible 2 Day Class Dates are by appointment. Email to find a date that will work for you. kathywise@bignet.net

Oct 4-5, 2025 I will be teaching a weekend class at Marc Adams School of Woodworking in Franklin, IN. Contact the school to sign up and see cost. https://www.marcadams.com/
