Curious about how and why skateparks look and function the way they do? Maybe one day it could be your job! 

Learn the skills and practices associated with becoming a skatepark designer from the village design team and get hands-on experience with the tools and materials along the way.

• The Village workshop is a studio environment, so we expect students to come with their own ideas and we will do our best to support them!
•  Each class is two hours of guided instruction between 12 and 2p, followed by Open Workshop time where students will have access to all the tools and materials they learned about for free exploration and open ended tinkering time. 

Take all three days and learn the complete process, or sign up for one day at a time to get some special instructions on the topics youre interested.
