Clay is soft, wood is solid. One asks for patience with water and fire, the other with tools and grain. In this workshop, you’ll work with both — shaping ceramic pieces and crafting wooden elements that fit together. The contrast makes you notice each material more deeply: the warmth of wood against the cool touch of clay, the precision of cutting beside the freedom of forming. In this activity you'll be designing your ceramic apero/sauce bowls by hand building, and making your own noble wood serving board from scratch. By the end, you will take home two presentable projects as a tangible result of your work you will be proud of.

- français plus bas Manual fabrications enhance design thinking and train fine- and gross-motor skills while we use our hands as tools. A tangible result of their work makes it a very satisfying activity for kids and teens, not to mention the priceless learning curve it involves. What will we do? Those who join us for the first time will be learning basic concepts of handling tools, building their first projects, acquire three-dimensional thinking and planning. Those who we've seen before will be encouraged to jump into more challenging projects based on their experiences. They can build upon the skills they've got already and are able to move in a workshop environment with confidence. We offer a unique experience in a fully-equipped craft space in Geneva and Lausanne where kids and teens can have hands-on experience to learn how things are made. It's all physical, dusty, noisy, real and the learning curve is priceless. Minimum age: 8 years Language:English, French Any questions, feel free to get in touch. Let them roll up their sleeves and build with us! ............................... Les fabrications manuelles améliorent la pensée conceptuelle et entraînent la motricité fine et globale pendant que nous utilisons nos mains comme outils. Un résultat tangible de leur travail en fait une activité très satisfaisante pour les enfants et les adolescents, sans parler de la courbe d'apprentissage inestimable qu'elle implique. Qu'allons nous faire? Ceux qui nous rejoindront pour la première fois apprendront les notions de base de la manipulation d'outils, construiront leurs premiers projets, acquerront la pensée et la planification en trois dimensions. Les anciens participants seront encouragés à se lancer dans des projets plus stimulants en fonction de leurs expériences. Ils peuvent s'appuyer sur les compétences qu'ils possèdent déjà et sont capables d'évoluer dans un environnement d'atelier en toute confiance. Nous offrons une expérience unique dans un nouvel espace artisanal à Genève où les enfants et les adolescents peuvent avoir une expérience pratique pour apprendre comment les choses sont fabriquées. Tout est physique, poussiéreux, bruyant et réel Age: 8+ Langue: anglais, français Nous réponderons à tout vos questions. Laissez-les retrousser leurs manches et construire avec nous!

You will start all the way from "raw" wood, producing your own woodturning stock. Next, you will measure and mark the location of the mortises in the seat, drill the mortises, and prepare the seat to be turned. You'll turn the seat and the three legs, working to precise dimensions for the tenons which will secure the legs to the seat. Finally, you will sand, assemble, and finish your project before taking it home! By the end of the course, you will have... - Created a turning project from scratch - Used essential shop equipment (machines, hand and power tools) with an emphasis on woodturning - Learned and understood the difference between cross-grain ("bowl") and spindle turning - Made a beautiful project to proudly display in your home!

PLEASE NOTE: 1) THIS IS A FOUR SESSION COURSE. When booking, you will only see the starting date. Please check the full schedule before signing up. 2) FOR THIS COURSE, WOOD IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PRICE. This is due to large variations in cost depending on board size, thickness, and type of wood. You will be given a large choice of woods to select from and the freedom to define your board size, within the machines' limits. The material cost can range anywhere between 20 chf for smaller boards with more affordable woods to 100 chf for larger boards in expensive woods. ABOUT: A high quality cutting board can really elevate the home cooking experience to a new level. And when you've made that board yourself, you can take pride in your work with every meal you prepare for yourself, family, or guests. BENEFITS OF AN END-GRAIN CUTTING BOARD: - Made from a safe material (ditch the plastic!) - Resistant to wear & tear - Your knives stay sharper for longer - Makes an excellent gift for just about anyone! WHAT YOU WILL DO: - Select your preferred wood (walnut, maple, cherry, mahogany, and more) - Define your cutting board's dimensions - Learn to use essential woodworking machines safely and achieve a reliable result - Understand how to plan and adjust the design of your board - And, of course, make your very own end-grain cutting board! SESSION TIMING: Session 1: 3 hours Session 2: 2 hours Session 3: 2 hours Session 4: 2 hours
