Learn how to plan the work, build with various woodworking tools, and determine decorative elements and installation aspects. At the final class, students have a constructed bat house to finish and install at home or donate! A student supply list is available upon registration. Each student will also need to bring a materials fee of $60 (cash or check made payable to the instructor) for the material kit they will receive at the first class meeting.
