Wooden bow tie classes are scheduled nationwide to offer a fun, creative opportunity to build a fun gift for Father's Day
MEDINA, Minn., May 26, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Father's Day is fast approaching, and this is the year to give him a tie — a handmade, wooden bow tie, that is. Family-owned Rockler Woodworking and Hardware, one of the nation's premier retailers of woodworking tools and supplies, is offering hands-on in-store classes at each of its 38 stores on June 11 to make unique wooden bow ties, serving as a great gift or a wonderful experience to do together with dad.
"We started our Father's Day bow tie classes five years ago, and it's always fun to see new people come in and try their hand at a great beginner-level project that they can complete in less than an hour," said Scott Ekman, Rockler VP of Marketing. "Whether you're giving it as a gift or want to bring your dad along to make your ties together, it's a fun opportunity to introduce people to woodworking."
With quick sessions and introductory demonstrations, the class is perfect for both people wanting to try something new and entry-level woodworkers interested in getting more involved in the craft. Rockler will offer several creative options for different styles and looks.
Class attendees will start by choosing their wood species, then sand, apply decorations and finish to the piece. The finished bow ties can be fashioned with an elastic band to make your work a fun, one-of-a-kind wearable gift.
Classes run hourly between 10am and 3pm, with four slots available per class. The cost is $10 and lasts one hour. All participants must register online through this link: https://www.eventbrite.com/d/united-states/bow-tie-make-and-take/. Walk-ins may be accepted to fill any open slots, subject to store approval.
In addition to this hands-on Father's Day class, Rockler also offers in-store classes year-round at each of its locations for woodworkers of all skill levels to make items like pens, bowls, cheeseboards, pizza cutter or bottle opener handles and much more.
