It’s official! I’ll be bringing Woodworking for Women to Tahoe this summer! So thrilled to be teaching at Sierra Nevada College, which is now part of the University of Nevada, Reno. Dreamy. And they will be putting together an exhibition of work by visiting artists, so I get to share some of my newer pieces.

So here’s my blurb:

W♀︎W, Woodworking for Women

In this introductory woodworking class, organized with women in mind, students will learn the foundations of designing and building functional and sculptural object in wood. Artist, eco-feminist, Sasha Petrenko will lead this 5-day workshop where students will learn to carve by hand and construct functional objects and sculpture, all in a supportive, inclusive environment. Lessons will include wood identification, hand carving, lamination, joinery, jig making, laser cutting and nontoxic finishing. Optional readings will support class discussions and presentations on ecological art practices for artists and craft people.

July 18 - 22, 2022 Sierra Nevada University, University of Nevada.
