Richard Wiborg will be assisting in these workshops. We will be working together on projects for non-profit organizations in the community. We have a few interesting projects lined up. We are just completing the new fence at KoHanEn - the Japanese garden at Lakeside park at Lake Merrit in Downtown Oakland. Check out our work at Daiku Dojo. We are looking forward to doing more work at the garden in the near future. In each of the shop classes, we have two scholarships to waive one half of the class fee for students who need and deserve aid. Contact us for more information.
