      <description>&lt;p style="line-height: 25px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://rutlandmint.org/resources/Pictures/Stained%20Glass%20cube.png" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Stained Glass for Beginners: Rhombus&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Cube Sun Catcher&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Join us for an introduction to our Stained Glass shop!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Using different colored and textured glass, we’ll arrange three diamond shapes (rhombuses) using the copper foil method to form a “3D” cube.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;In this class you will leave knowing:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;How to cut and shape glass from a pattern&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Apply foil to the glass for soldering&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;How to use soldering irons on copper foil to join different glass pieces in a design&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;How to add a simple eye loop to a piece&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;All safety procedures for use of equipment and materials in the Stained Glass shop&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;This beginner class will get your foot in the door of the Stained Glass shop.&amp;nbsp;This course counts as a foundational class that will allow you to work independently in the shop.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;*Please wear&amp;nbsp;close-toed shoes, bring water and snack. All other PPE provided by the Mint.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Woodshop Orientation (09/29/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;img src="https://rutlandmint.org/resources/Pictures/Woodshop.png" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;

&lt;h2 align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Woodshop Orientation &amp;amp; Basic Tool Use&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;The Woodshop Orientation is designed to ensure that all members understand The Mint’s woodshop policies, procedures, and expectations for maintaining a safe, clean, and welcoming shared workspace. Participants will learn about shop safety, proper cleanup, dust collection, material restrictions, tool care, and the responsibilities that come with using a community woodshop.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;During the class, participants will also learn or demonstrate the safe and proper use of the primary woodworking tools available for member use. The goal is to make sure everyone has the knowledge and confidence needed to work safely and independently in the shop, whether you are an experienced woodworker or completely new to woodworking.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;As a bonus, everyone will put those skills to work by making their own custom piece (spatula, cheeseboard, etc.) to take home. This simple hands-on project provides an opportunity to practice several of the techniques covered during the orientation while creating something useful.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No previous woodworking experience is required.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;This orientation is intended for all members who would like to use The Mint woodshop independently.&amp;nbsp;By the end of this class, you’ll have both a handcrafted wooden piece and the skills needed to independently and safely use The MINT’s woodshop.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Come on everybody—let's make some sawdust!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What You’ll Learn&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In this class, you’ll master the safe operation of:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Compound Miter Saw (Chopsaw):&lt;/strong&gt; For precise crosscuts and angled cuts.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SawStop Table Saw:&lt;/strong&gt; For ripping boards to size with advanced safety features.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jointer and Planer:&lt;/strong&gt; For creating smooth, flat, and uniform surfaces.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hand Tools and Measuring Techniques:&lt;/strong&gt; Learn the basics of shaping, sanding, and measuring for a polished finish.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Safety First&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No prior experience is necessary! We’ll provide all the guidance and tools you need. Bring your own safety glasses/ ear protection if you prefer, or borrow a pair from us.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Class Details&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;
    &lt;strong&gt;Cost:&lt;/strong&gt;

    &lt;ul&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;$20 Members&lt;/li&gt;

      &lt;li&gt;$30 Non-Members*&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;/ul&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;*Non Members may take this class at The MINT, but only Members have continued access to the shops.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Inquire about becoming a Member!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Woodshop Orientation (10/27/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;img src="https://rutlandmint.org/resources/Pictures/Woodshop.png" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;

&lt;h2 align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Woodshop Orientation &amp;amp; Basic Tool Use&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;The Woodshop Orientation is designed to ensure that all members understand The Mint’s woodshop policies, procedures, and expectations for maintaining a safe, clean, and welcoming shared workspace. Participants will learn about shop safety, proper cleanup, dust collection, material restrictions, tool care, and the responsibilities that come with using a community woodshop.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;During the class, participants will also learn or demonstrate the safe and proper use of the primary woodworking tools available for member use. The goal is to make sure everyone has the knowledge and confidence needed to work safely and independently in the shop, whether you are an experienced woodworker or completely new to woodworking.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;As a bonus, everyone will put those skills to work by making their own custom piece (spatula, cheeseboard, etc.) to take home. This simple hands-on project provides an opportunity to practice several of the techniques covered during the orientation while creating something useful.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No previous woodworking experience is required.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;This orientation is intended for all members who would like to use The Mint woodshop independently.&amp;nbsp;By the end of this class, you’ll have both a handcrafted wooden piece and the skills needed to independently and safely use The MINT’s woodshop.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Come on everybody—let's make some sawdust!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What You’ll Learn&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In this class, you’ll master the safe operation of:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Compound Miter Saw (Chopsaw):&lt;/strong&gt; For precise crosscuts and angled cuts.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SawStop Table Saw:&lt;/strong&gt; For ripping boards to size with advanced safety features.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jointer and Planer:&lt;/strong&gt; For creating smooth, flat, and uniform surfaces.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hand Tools and Measuring Techniques:&lt;/strong&gt; Learn the basics of shaping, sanding, and measuring for a polished finish.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Safety First&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No prior experience is necessary! We’ll provide all the guidance and tools you need. Bring your own safety glasses/ ear protection if you prefer, or borrow a pair from us.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Class Details&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;
    &lt;strong&gt;Cost:&lt;/strong&gt;

    &lt;ul&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;$20 Members&lt;/li&gt;

      &lt;li&gt;$30 Non-Members*&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;/ul&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;*Non Members may take this class at The MINT, but only Members have continued access to the shops.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Inquire about becoming a Member!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Woodshop Orientation (11/24/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;img src="https://rutlandmint.org/resources/Pictures/Woodshop.png" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;

&lt;h2 align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Woodshop Orientation &amp;amp; Basic Tool Use&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;The Woodshop Orientation is designed to ensure that all members understand The Mint’s woodshop policies, procedures, and expectations for maintaining a safe, clean, and welcoming shared workspace. Participants will learn about shop safety, proper cleanup, dust collection, material restrictions, tool care, and the responsibilities that come with using a community woodshop.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;During the class, participants will also learn or demonstrate the safe and proper use of the primary woodworking tools available for member use. The goal is to make sure everyone has the knowledge and confidence needed to work safely and independently in the shop, whether you are an experienced woodworker or completely new to woodworking.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;As a bonus, everyone will put those skills to work by making their own custom piece (spatula, cheeseboard, etc.) to take home. This simple hands-on project provides an opportunity to practice several of the techniques covered during the orientation while creating something useful.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No previous woodworking experience is required.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;This orientation is intended for all members who would like to use The Mint woodshop independently.&amp;nbsp;By the end of this class, you’ll have both a handcrafted wooden piece and the skills needed to independently and safely use The MINT’s woodshop.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Come on everybody—let's make some sawdust!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What You’ll Learn&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In this class, you’ll master the safe operation of:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Compound Miter Saw (Chopsaw):&lt;/strong&gt; For precise crosscuts and angled cuts.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SawStop Table Saw:&lt;/strong&gt; For ripping boards to size with advanced safety features.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jointer and Planer:&lt;/strong&gt; For creating smooth, flat, and uniform surfaces.&lt;/li&gt;

      <title>Woodshop Orientation (12/29/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;img src="https://rutlandmint.org/resources/Pictures/Woodshop.png" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;

&lt;h2 align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Woodshop Orientation &amp;amp; Basic Tool Use&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;The Woodshop Orientation is designed to ensure that all members understand The Mint’s woodshop policies, procedures, and expectations for maintaining a safe, clean, and welcoming shared workspace. Participants will learn about shop safety, proper cleanup, dust collection, material restrictions, tool care, and the responsibilities that come with using a community woodshop.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;During the class, participants will also learn or demonstrate the safe and proper use of the primary woodworking tools available for member use. The goal is to make sure everyone has the knowledge and confidence needed to work safely and independently in the shop, whether you are an experienced woodworker or completely new to woodworking.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;As a bonus, everyone will put those skills to work by making their own custom piece (spatula, cheeseboard, etc.) to take home. This simple hands-on project provides an opportunity to practice several of the techniques covered during the orientation while creating something useful.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No previous woodworking experience is required.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;This orientation is intended for all members who would like to use The Mint woodshop independently.&amp;nbsp;By the end of this class, you’ll have both a handcrafted wooden piece and the skills needed to independently and safely use The MINT’s woodshop.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Come on everybody—let's make some sawdust!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What You’ll Learn&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In this class, you’ll master the safe operation of:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Compound Miter Saw (Chopsaw):&lt;/strong&gt; For precise crosscuts and angled cuts.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SawStop Table Saw:&lt;/strong&gt; For ripping boards to size with advanced safety features.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jointer and Planer:&lt;/strong&gt; For creating smooth, flat, and uniform surfaces.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hand Tools and Measuring Techniques:&lt;/strong&gt; Learn the basics of shaping, sanding, and measuring for a polished finish.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Safety First&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No prior experience is necessary! We’ll provide all the guidance and tools you need. Bring your own safety glasses/ ear protection if you prefer, or borrow a pair from us.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Class Details&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;
    &lt;strong&gt;Cost:&lt;/strong&gt;

    &lt;ul&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;$20 Members&lt;/li&gt;

      &lt;li&gt;$30 Non-Members*&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;/ul&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;*Non Members may take this class at The MINT, but only Members have continued access to the shops.&lt;/p&gt;
