Try It! Make a Picnic-Perfect Cutting Board

Make a cutting board that fits nicely into a picnic tote or for serving other food – just in time for Mother’s Day.

About this Class

This beginner-friendly class is designed to pair with a Fiber Arts class the same afternoon where you can sew a lightly padded canvas tote for your board and then return the next day for a Kitchen Arts class to make a pie. You can also sign up just to make the cutting board.

Details

• If you want to make the board as a team with your mom or grandma or with your kids or grandkids who are at least 14 years old, there is no extra registration fee to work as a team to make one board. If you each want a board, sign up as individuals.
  
• Wear safety glasses and closed-toe shoes, tie back long hair, and avoid loose-fitting clothing and jewelry. We recommend bringing your own safety glasses.

Project

From a solid piece of maple, you will make a cutting board about 8 inches square with shaped corners, sized to stabilize the base of a tote 11”x11”x9.5”.

Materials

A $10 materials fee included in the cost of the class covers all materials.

Prerequisites

None. This is a beginner-friendly class.
