About Us

At NCW Woodshop, woodworking is more than a craft—it’s a passion. Founded by Jon Clark in 2023, our workshop evolved from his personal hobby into a vibrant community space. Initially inspired by woodworking classes and family projects, Jon created NCW Woodshop in the Wenatchee Valley to foster creativity, community and to empower our members.

What began as a makerspace has grown into a thriving hub, where we’ve taught and mentored over 100 budding woodworkers, and partnered with local organizations like Cascadia and Sustainable NCW. Our dedicated team offers a variety of classes, from beginner projects to advanced techniques, along with open shop time and membership options for 24/7 access.

Our Philosophy: At NCW Woodshop, we believe woodworking is more than building projects—it’s about building people and community. We’re here to help folks gain confidence, learn new skills, and experience the satisfaction of creating something with their own hands. Whether you’re here to tackle a first project or refine advanced techniques, we focus on mentorship, encouragement, and collaboration. Our goal is simple: make woodworking approachable, fun, and something you don’t have to do alone.

Our Instructors: Our team of passionate and experienced instructors bring a wealth of knowledge and a deep love for not only woodworking but also for share their knowledge and passing it along to the next woodworker. Each instructor is committed to guiding you on your journey, offering personalized attention and adapting practices to meet your unique needs and goals. Their expertise spans various styles and traditions, ensuring a rich and diverse experience.

Our Community: NCW Woodshop is more than just a place for woodworking; it’s a community. We cherish the connections formed within our shop and strive to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere where friendships blossom and support thrives. Our community events, workshops, and classes provide opportunities for deeper engagement and shared experiences.

Our Space: At 1,800 square feet, our shop is the envy of many a woodworker. We’ve designed it to be fully equipped, fully stocked, and fully welcoming. From wide-open assembly tables to professional-grade tools, we’ve got everything you need to bring your project to life. Need glue? Sandpaper? Finishing supplies? It’s all here—and included. Whether you’re doing rough cuts or fine joinery, you’ll find the right tool for the job. Clean, organized, and ready when you are.

Our Commitment: We’re committed to providing a welcoming space, quality tools, and the support you need to build with confidence. At NCW Woodshop, you don’t just make projects—you join a community.
