Red Rocks School of Fine Woodworking and Lutherie

The school is located within the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, in Lakewood, Colorado. We offer a unique and intensive hands-on program. Our program is well suited to fit your goals; whether that is to pursue a career in woodworking, or merely hone your skills as a hobbyist.

The approach taken at our school is a combination of old-world and modern techniques. Rand Richards is a classically trained woodworker who has spent many years designing and building custom furniture.

In addition we have Robbie O'Brien who runs our Lutherie department. Our shop is maintained by Patrick Shannon our shop manager. In addition to our full time staff we also have 19 part-time instructors and 14 teaching assistants. The breadth of experience at Red Rocks is second to none.

Your average class will have 10 - 15 students. In addition to your instructor there will probably be one or two teacher assistants in the class.
