Fireweed typically offer several types of classes:

• Classes for women and nonbinary students

  • Non-binary is a term for folks that are gender fluid and don't align with the male or female gender. People also use the term Gender Non-Conforming (GNC) or Two-Spirited (a Native term) to recognize folks beyond the binary.

• Classes open to students of all genders

• Classes for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) students

• Classes open for students of all ethnic, racial identities

Some may wonder why Fireweed Community Woodshop has co-ed classes when our mission is to empower women and non-binary folks through the art of woodcraft. We also offer a variety of co-ed classes because men have different learning styles too! At Fireweed Community Woodshop there are no expectations of experience based on gender.

Students must be 18 years of age or older to enroll in courses at Fireweed Community Woodshop, unless otherwise noted on the course page. For those under 18 interested in woodworking classes, we’d recommend checking out Leonardo's Basement.

Students are asked to wear closed toed shoes, non-dangling clothing, and clothing you can get messy or covered in wood chips. Depending on your project or class, some students prefer to also tie up or cover their hair.

Our classes on average are 4 to 15 students to ensure students maximize one-on-one contact with our instructors.

We provide 2 types of financial aid. Most of our classes provide sliding scale pricing. Additionally we have access funds available to students. Email us how much you can afford and we will cover the rest if we have the funds. No questions asked. fireweedwoodshop@ gmail.com

We offer opportunities for private one-on-one classes or private group classes. Consider hiring us for your next work retreat, bachelorette party, birthday, anniversary celebration, or whatever it may be! You can contact fireweedwoodshop@gmail.com for more details.

Unfortunately we cannot refund or give credit to no shows. You must notify us in advance of missing a class.
