Woodworking & Basketry Workshops
Through in-person and virtual workshops, Teresa Audet teaches woodworking and basketry, as well as spoon carving, boxmaking, and other sculptural processes. Each class is designed to be practical, open-ended, and engaging. The goal is not just to make one object, but to inspire people to keep creating long after the workshop ends.

How Teresa Teaches
Teresa’s teaching style is practical, playful, and hands-on. Students should feel empowered by what they make and confident in what they learn. But rather than having everyone make the exact same object, Teresa encourages students to make their own design choices, and leave with techniques they can keep using on their own. Whether the class focuses on weaving, carving, or woodworking, the goal is to help each student build skills that last beyond the workshop itself.
Who Are These Workshop For?
Teresa’s workshops are designed for anyone who wants to learn hands-on techniques. Some classes are ideal for first-time students. Others offer a deeper dive for people ready to build on existing skills. Teresa also offers select workshops for youth programs, schools, and group events. Most classes are beginner to intermediate, with a few more advanced offerings depending on the subject.
