Mardi Gras Yard Art Workshop
Come get festive with us while learning some basic woodworking skills. In this workshop participants will learn how to use a jigsaw and drills to make a Mardi Gras door hanger or lawn art. Participants will paint their signs and go over options for protecting signs from the elements. Each participant will receive a 24”x24” piece of plywood for their project and we will have templates for a fleur de lis, bead dog, and Mardi Gras masks. Participants are welcome to bring their own template or free hand a different design.

COVID-19 Protocols
Your safety is our highest priority, so we have put safety protocols in place for all of our in-person workshops to keep everyone safe. Those protocols are:
All instructors, assistants, and participants will be required to show proof of vaccinations and wear masks while attending workshops. We do not have enough masks to provide to everyone, so you will be required to provide your own mask.
Everyone should follow recommended safety precautions, such as coughing into your elbow and refraining from touching their face.
All of the tools, equipment, door handles, cabinet and drawer handles, etc. that are touched will be disinfected both before and after the workshop.
Our Credo:
1. Give people independence and confidence
2. Create communities of people through project based collaboration
3. Learn from our mistakes
4. Access both financially & physically
